Subject: Does not tithing disqualify leadership? |
Bible Note: Yes, I agree that God loves a cheerful giver, and that the offering made in love is more honorable than the offering made out of obligation. The "tithe" is ONLY ten percent - yet it is the LORD who gives us EVERYTHING we have! In reality, it ALL belongs to Him! What we do with our gifts and talents, monetary and otherwize does fall under His scrutiny; for the Lord alone knows the intent of our heart! He alone is able to judge our motivation.
