AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 9:7 Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. [Prov 22:9] |
Bible Question:
I am quite sure that this question has been asked and probably thrashed to death... However, when we tithe... 1 is it truly required of us to tithe? 2 if so, how much are we required, or does God even keep track f how much versus did you give? 3 is it acceptable to split tithes up over various charities, missions, etc? i.e. I pray to God about tithing and believe that 5000 for the year is acceptable and make a commitment to do so. From that, I give 3000 to my church, 1000 to a local Christian radio station, 500 to a mission, and 500 to something like Christian Children's Fund. PLEASE use as many biblical references as necessary when replying. Thank you May God bless and keep you Clay |
Bible Answer: Greetings Clay! Yes indeed this subject has been "hashed and thrashed." You will find some excellent posts under the notes on this verse as well as using the "search feature" on tithing. "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." I believe that according to this verse, the Lord is more concerned about the attitude of your heart rather than the amount that you give. Remember is ALL belongs to him anyway! Blessings in Jesus!
