Bible Question: do you tithe on unemployment insurance checks. |
Bible Answer: To all of our tithing viewers. If you have decided to tithe, you tithe 10 percent of your increase. This 10 percent is based upon your gross increase not your net, in other words "every" cent you acquire. As far as tithing on Unemployment check where is your faith? Is it fair that the Gov. take out it's tax, then Social Security takes out for you, then you tithe on what is left? God is the one that gave all of it to you in the first place. Then at the end of the year don't take it off on your taxes, that would be the same as not tithing at all. This whole tithing experience is meant to be a faith walk, if you are continually trying to decide whether you should tithe this or that, then stop tithing, because your motive is wrong. You are either tithing out of obligation according to law, or it is for the gain that is promised. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. A very simple way to look at tithing is, we all spend money on a lot of things we can't even account for at the end of the month, that is not good stewardship. But in your tithing, you should forget about it, not expecting reward for your faithfulness, or worrying whether or not you will have enough money for the rest of the month. Whenever the decision has been made to tithe, from that point on the actual workings of it should not be questioned, let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Like I said tithing is a faith walk, those that will trust God in their belief will be able to tithe, those that believe it is not for today, or feel tithing is legalistic won't. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
