Bible Question: Is there anywhere in the bible that discusses what someone who lives on a fixed income should do about tithes when all their income goes to food and living expenses? Thanks, prayon |
Bible Answer: "according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have" For if the [eager] readiness to give is there, then it is acceptable and welcomed in proportion to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 2 Corinthians 8:12 (AMPLIFIED) 2 Cor. 8:11-13 (ESV) So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. [12] For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. [13] I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened . . . |
