Bible Note: Sorry Johnny, I did not read your previous note, just this one. We belong to quite a big church, and there are quite a few people there that work at the church full-time, so they get paid by the church/us. They do not have time to have another job beside church. Neh. 10:37 says: "Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work." My NIV Bible study notes says about this verse: According to God's law, the people were to give a tenth of their produce to the temple for the support of the Levites (those who cared for the temple and the religious observances). A tenth of what the Levites received or produced went to the priests for their support. The principle at work was to ensure the support of the house of God and his workers. We must not overlook our responsibility to God's workers today. Thanks Shelly |
