Don’t Neglect His House!

In establishing the Church, God created an organization that He knew would be worldwide. This new entity would be maintained and expanded primarily by well-trained volunteers and would face overwhelming opposition. He considered the Church so precious that He paid for it with His own blood (Acts 20:28). I find it hard to believe that He would not have a plan to provide for its expenses.

Let’s Stay in Step

Having been born of the Spirit, we have God’s life in us. We are children, not slaves, and we are created righteous and holy by nature (Ephesians 4:24). This God-life is a free gift. The Spirit has given us new life, now our life’s quest is learning to “keep in step with the Spirit.”

Live to a Higher Standard

The Law gave us a blueprint for the kind of generosity that God intends for His image-bearers. The New Birth put that blueprint in our hearts. God’s principles and provision have not changed, but we have. The New Birth transformed our nature, enabling us to reach higher toward living up to the original design.

We’re Special People

New Testament giving, including tithing, should be based on heart conviction. If, after a thorough search of the scripture, I am convinced it’s for me, then I can tithe and expect the blessings associated therewith. I encourage you to study the Word on the subject and obey God.
