My Dear Brethren,
The following excerpt promises blessings to those who are generous to the poor.
Deuteronomy 15:7-11
7“If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, 8“but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. 9“Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the LORD against you, and it become sin among you. 10“You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. 11“For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.”
So why don’t we hear it being preached as much as Malachi 3:10?

TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF IS THE MESSAGE , BUT TO LOVE YOURSELF YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE GOD FOR THAT IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT THAT WE MUST FOLLOW OF THE TO THAT REST TO THE LAW OF GODS COVENANT WITH US Mat 22:37-38 , WE LIVE UNDER A NEW COVENANT WICH IS THE LAW OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Rom 8:2 ALSO KNOWN AS THE SCEPTER OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS PSALMS 40:6 , FURTHER TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT THERE IS NO DEATH TO SAY CONDEMNATION Rom 8:1 ,Gal 5:22-23 THEREFORE THE MESSAGE PUT OUT BY EXAMPLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IS TO GIVE WHAT YOU GIVE TO GOD FROM THE HEART AND GIVE WITH GOOD CHEER AS YOU WOULD WISH UPON YOURSELF AND REMEMBER THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP IS TO BE UPHELD SO GIVE FROM THE HEART THOSE THAT DONT HAVE GIVE WITH SERVICE ,HUNGRY GIVE HIM A NOURISMENT OR THIRSTY SATISFY HIS THIRST LETS PUT GREED ASIDE AND BY THIS WE PUT AWAY DEATH AS A PRODUCT OF WICKEDNESS TO LIVE BY THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS A BETTER WAY TO SERVE GOD THAN TO GIVE ANY WORLDLY MONEY GOLD OR WHATSOEVER IT MAY BE ,
Jesus said.. God is looking for someone to worship him in truth and spirit. Jesus also said..give unto Ceasers what is Ceasers and give unto God what is Gods!! Money dosent fit that bill. So help others and give ur Time which cant be replaced.If u seek money then ur of this world and not of the Kingdom!
Why don’t we see more blogs on whether CIRCUMCISION is still binding on the church? Preachers dig up any parts of the Old Law that make them money, and to be sure, if a few pennies could be made off circumcision, you’d hear a sermon on it every week and all the males of the congregation would head for the hills!
LOL!!! very true.The problem is that most everyone is Religous which is alot different then a personal relationship with Christ.
It better we stop all this argument because God himself is reading all this quotes and replys.let just obey his word as the bible direct us.so it better we keep our mouth shot and let hope to see God give us the right answer on the judgement day.this argument will not lead us anywhere God know best for us.stay bleesed.
That which the law requires, grace inspires to do so much more.
Only the ten per cent figure is seized on, the rest of the law is ignored, like giving ALL the tithe to the poor every three years, letting the tither buy wine or strong drink with tithe money (Deut.14:26), and many other laws preachers NEVER mention! I wonder why.

Reference
John Wesley’s sermon
“Use Of Money”
Let us all do our best to follow the Messiah. In doing so, we will obey God’s commandments, and we will do as the Messiah said and as He did.
Our Father has given His Son as an atonement sacrifice for our iniquities.. so let us respond to Him in love with obedience to His Unchanging Word. We know that the Bible tells us that if we love Him, we will obey Him, and we know that sin is the transgression of God’s Law (1 John 3:4). So let us search God’s Word and obey Him with a joyful heart, as He is so gracious, merciful and kind, despite the fact that we don’t deserve it.
Instead of taking other people’s word on things, I suggest we just take God’s Word literally, and follow the old WWJD concept. Messiah would never teach to disobey God’s Unchanging Word, for He Himself obeyed it, as He was sinless, and He did not come to abolish God’s Law. When in doubt, I recommend you try out for yourselves things in question and consider what Our Master did. I can only speak for myself, and the more I conform my life to the Word (such as only eating clean, observing God’s Appointed Times, etc), the more rich and alive my life and my relationship with Him, as well as my understanding of His Word becomes.
In the end, I think you will find yourself living a much different life than most modern Christians live, if you forsake everything in order to obey God and live like the Messiah did.
May YHWH bless you all abundantly.
Sent with Love.
The Church (whichever one you attend) is not God, it’s a business just like the Goverment so keep on debating but paying a church 10% is just a tax.Share love and respect for people and help people when you can, buy some homeless guy a meal and that is what He wanted.
ridgebax, you are exactly right except for one huge thing: All the churches ARE man’s, and it wasn’t until the Lord restored his true church and gospel upon the earth that any of them had any authority or priesthood power. Now it’s up to you to find His church by humbling yourself and praying until you receive the promptings you need to find His church. If you are evil and unrepentant, you won’t find it. One hint is that it’s all over the earth searching out the righteous.
Amen to that, coz some churches don’t do that we give and give to the church but what does the church give…We have people in this country that need food, shelter, water lites and we running to other countries supplying them God wants us to know he resides in us each of us and we are to take care of us, a building can’t help me, U are the kingdom of god he resides in you….
Does anyone have thoughts on 1 Corinthians 9:14? Paul’s argument that “….those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.” Doesn’t this imply that we need to give from our own possessions in order to support those in ministry that don’t have any other form of income? Call it what you may (giving/tithing)….the resources have to come from someone who is willing to give.
amen to redfox God will honour those who honor his word .
Hi I am doing the tittes and offering this Sunday @ church it’s going be my first ever and I need help I need a good bible verse and the meaning of the verse please help thanks.
I don’t think tithing should be a debate. When you give to the Church, you give to God and by your tithing you show your faith. I too have not much to give but I trust in the Lord. We all should be obedient and tithe. It is only those who try to use logic to understand a Christ and what it means to be a Christian and why we do things the way we do. If people do not want to tithe, that is simply their choice but as for me, I will listen to God.
God bless everyone
Wish we didn’t have to debate about tithing, but the truth of the matter is that people’s hearts are under bondage. People’s budgets are under bondage.
Preachers can’t appeal to any instructions from Paul or other apostles, or even Jesus himself to pay preachers ten per cent of monetary paychecks. Preachers have to isolate scriptures from their context, or appeal to second-or third-hand reasoning to ADD TO God’s word in order to bilk Christians out of their money through guilt tactics.

thanks for the information about tithing. May God provide more space for your success, in Jesus Name.
U see, dats d problem with d world today, dats why d people are getting more lawless by the day. If u claim 2 b a child of yahweh who is being led by his spirit then u should have learnt 2 Obey his command without asking 4 reasons or bringing in earthly human logic. Pay ur tithes and leave the rest to yahweh or do not and continue 2 remain a spiritual and physical pauper. ‘GRACE’ cannot cover u when u deliberately break d law 4 ur selfish purpose!
Tithing is not debatable. I will give an example, if I had ten cobs of maize and gave them to someone and ask them cook them and just give me two cobs out of the ten they will prepare and allow them to eat the remaining 8. They cook and eat everything including the two. I hope you get my point right.
God bless you all
