Also from John MacArthur, "One study of several denominations revealed a gradual decline in giving over seventeen years, though average income increased sharply in that time period. Material riches are proving to be a spiritual liability. Christians now have more money at their disposal than at any time in human history, but they proportionately invest far less in the kingdom. The same study further revealed that almost half of all charitable giving in the United States comes from households with annual incomes under 30,000 dollars. James 2:5 comes to mind: "Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?" -as the musician once said, "Golden country, your face is so red, with all of your money, your poor could be fed..." |

Thanks, here's a story for you about conquering the beast. A hunter was walking through the jungle and he was startled as he came upon a pygmy standing next to a very large dead beast. Standing there amazed, he asked the pygmy, "did you kill that?" To which the pygmy answered "Yes." Then the hunter inquired how such a small person could ever overcome such a huge beast, to which the pygmy replied,"I killed it with my club." The astonished hunter then asked,"Oh? How big is your club?" and the pygmy replied, "There are 85 of us." My wounded brother, We are members of a club that is able to conquer any beast that comes our way, and this club is called the church. And oh how powerful the club is and how we are all needed to attend every meeting. I will pray for your liberation from this addiction. We must start by praying specifically for power over the beast, the very next time the urge strikes. I know as well as you that this is a real tough enemy to conquer. In His service and yours. |

Brother, First let me say I have struggled w/the same thing for 35 years. You have come to the right place to recieve sincere and caring help from a host of godly people. Next, you can get a variety of answers to your question by typing related words in the quick search box. My personal suggestion is fasting with prayer.I stop eating after dinner on Friday, only drink water on Saturday, then only allow myself fleshly nourishment after my spirit is nourished at Sunday's church service. Also, read Psalm 51 every day for 5 days. Then Psalm 38 for another 5. When Jesus was tempted in the desert, the only weapon He used against satan was the Word. And, Listen to what Jesus says to His apostles who were unsuccessful in driving out a demon, from KJV, Mat 17:20,21 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." (note: some translations, such as certain NIVs omit this verse.) Next, allow me to suggest you spend time reading Psalm 119. This psalm is devoted to how the Word of God is able to transform our lives. It is one prayer after another showing us the way God uses His Word for our benefit. 119:45 says, “I will walk at liberty for I seek your precepts.” also, 37-38, “Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, And revive me in Thy ways. Establish Thy word to Thy servant, As that which produces reverence for Thee.” Remember, these are only suggestions, -for each individual is different, with a unique set to his own problems. I was saved less than 3 years ago, and the only thing that (almost) kept me from my problem was almost 2 years in prison. However, I am getting strong in the Word again, through a Bible correspondance course and much religious programming on TV plus total abstinence of network TV. I feel like I could be making some real progress. Also, one thing that stops me from feeling so down on myself is to remember that God has seen me at my worst, and He still loves me anyway. God Bless You, bro Tim |

65 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | Renovate Me | 109212 | ||
Thank you, Prayon for your post but please allow me to clarify for I am afraid the meaning of my message was misunderstood. I give very generously to my church and pastor in time and money, but my income has been known to fluctuate wildly so sometimes I give 50 percent and sometimes 20 and sometimes less than 10 percent. This is what makes me feel good as part of a congregation and I pay no attention to the word 'tithe' since I feel that it is ALL God's money, we are only using His gifts during our short journey upon His earth. To me, it is not how much to give, but rather, how much should I KEEP? Which is why I chose the verse above to head this thread. What is a tithe for? Well it is hard to understand how one can put guidelines on the feelings in one's heart. If one, like me at times, has all needs met and bills have been paid, then I would not feel right giving ten percent of a week's income, because "he who sows sparingly..." That is what makes tithing impertinent. However, the fact remains, that in many churches, if every member would faithfully give ten percent every week, there would be no need for the fund-raisers that are so often necessary. One final verse in closing, from KJV, Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. In His Generous Grasp, Tim |

66 | Is flesh existing in heaven now? | Luke 24:39 | Renovate Me | 109141 | ||
Thank you, Kalos and momma for your excellent replies. Yes, verses 24:42-43 fortify the belief that Christ was actual flesh after he had arisen. "42And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43And he took [it], and did eat before them."(KJV) However my thought was that after His ascension into the clouds, there was no longer use for this fleshly burden and Jesus is in heaven in His resurrected body, or his Spirit, but I find it hard to think He is living in flesh in heaven. Is there anything to that? Bless you and thanks. |

Hi Sonny, There is much debate on the issue of tithe, since it is never mentioned in the New Testament. There certainly would not be anything wrong with giving your mother whatever portion of your income you feel that you can afford, but would it be considered a valid tithe? Again, since Jesus paid the ultimate price for our redemption, what is a tithe for anymore? | ||||||

My long-saved brother-in-law and I, a over-zealous new-believer had a conversation where he told me that since Christ was man, and rose from the dead, and that now since Christ is in heaven, there exists man, with flesh and blood in heaven. This concerns me, since I disagree. Please help. | ||||||
