Bible Question: If I tithe ten percent, do I tithe on the gross or the net? |
Bible Answer: To tithe or not to tithe.... whether on gross or net..... sadly this is not the question... We are to give to God our all....and all means all...Everything is His first and foremost...it is only because of Him that we are able to work..it is He that gives us strength, breath, and heartbeat... So don't you think it is quite trivial to get into a discussion that asks .."What can we get by on giving to God?" If you really want to please God stop being a legalistic modern day prarisee and start giving everything to God... your entire life is in His hands.. why do you foolishly keep presuming your life is your own to do what you want...Your life is a gift from God what you do with your life...the way we spend our Time our Talent and our Treasures is our gift to Him.....Are you going to let the enemy of our souls rob us of the joy gained from a close personal intimate relationship with Christ******as I write this I am reminded by the Holy Spirit that I should be paying attention to what I am writing... because it is written to me as well....neat how that works. I LOVE YOU ALL AND GOD LOVES YOU TOO....STOP THE MADNESS!!!!...QUIT BEING LEGALISTIC AND SELF RIGHTEOUS!! **Strive for closeness with the Lord and Creator of the universe, Savior and King. INSTEAD OF INTELLECTUAL SUPPIORITY OVER YOUR BRETHREN****THIS DOESN"T BUILD UP IT ONLY TEARS DOWN..... Trust me I have been there and the Lord is bringing me out of that dessert of SIN....yes it is sin. Tithe is not the issue YOUR HEART IS... WERE YOUR TREASURE IS THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO!!!! Look through your checkbook to see whether you are setting your sites on things eternal or temporal.....YES WE ALL MUST PAY FOR LIVING EXPENSES...don't you think your Father knows that? The least we could do is give back to Him out of the first fruits of our lives...NOT JUST OUR PAYCHECKS.... |
