Cuando el pueblo de Dios vuelve a Él, uno de los resultados es la generosidad. El diezmo se practicaba entre los judíos durante los tiempos de fidelidad espiritual hasta mucho después del nacimiento de la iglesia.

Knowing in Your Knower
There is a blessing in knowing about something—in knowing what the Scripture says. That’s wonderful, and it should be encouraged. Study! There is also a knowing that exceeds the limits of my little bitty brain, and I want to know that, too. I want you to know it as well.

If God has prompted you about something, don’t think He will simply give up. The easiest path is obedience, and that starts with willingness. The “on” switch to willingness is inside of you—and only you can flip it.
Fan the Flame
Life is full of challenges and distractions. It’s up to you to maintain the fire in your heart. In the new birth and the baptism with the Spirit, you received the same Spirit Timothy had. He is not afraid. He is working in you and through you.
