Download or read book Taxes Tithes It s Your Money written by Willie F. Peterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There''s a quotation that says; "there are two things for certain in life and they are death and taxes.''* This book addresses for faith and community organizations both of them, the death of their organization if their not compliant with the laws that govern non-profit organizations and if they are interested, how they may qualify for government and foundation funds. This resource guide is written to train and educate congregations about their role in the Faith-Based and Community Initiative. Note: this guide is not for everyone. There are many faith partners that believe receiving government funding is a curse. All I am saying here is if you desire or are already seeking; funding you should be wise to the laws that govern you. It was the discussions with pastors who doubt the faith based initiative that lead me to write this guide. The premise is simple. Since individuals and congregations pay taxes, they are entitled to receive those funds through federal, state and local grants and put them back into the community in which they live.

Download or read book Should the Church Teach Tithing written by Russell Kelly, Ph.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a thorough examination of every biblical text on tithing, Dr. Kelly concludes that the church would be best served spiritually by believing and applying better New Testament principles of giving. After discussing sound biblical reasons for Christians to replace tithing, he presents God's better principles of grace. Doctrines such as the New Testament concept of law and covenant and the priesthood of believers are presented as they affect tithing. Following several chapters which discuss disputed texts relating to pastoral support, this book traces the early development of church support as found in the Church Fathers before Nicea. This book leaves no question or objection about tithing unanswered. It is a "must read" for any serious Bible student. There is a wealth of other doctrinal insights to be gained as one goes through the Bible in search of the truth about tithing.

Download or read book The Truth About Tithes Offerings written by Lystra M. Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C hristian Churches today have misinterpreted Malachi 3:8-12 to mean that God wants each Christian to give 10 percent of his or her gross pay to the church on His behalf. The promise that God will "open the windows of heaven and pour out so much blessings that they will not have room to receive" has caused poor Christians to give sacrificially as they hope for this windfall. This book is the result of a comprehensive study that reveals that God never asked for money for the tithes. God told Moses exactly what He wanted His people to bring for the tithes, and it was never money. The book reveals why God would never have asked for money, and it could be very liberating to learn that you do not have to pay this 10 percent "church tax."

Download or read book Tithing After the Cross written by David a. Croteau and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some in the church find it very difficult to talk about money, but it's a subject that cannot be avoided. The church needs money to continue to function. Missionaries need money to carry the gospel. As a result, however reluctant we are to talk about it, we have to do so. And when we do so, we often generate more confusion and resentment than cash. Some churches require that members be tithers before they can take positions of leadership. This in turn can result in a sort of spying by one believer on another. How much do we each earn? Is our giving equal to 10% of our income? On the other hand there are those who discount tithing, and consider themselves tithers because they give two or three percent of their income. They may say that they "tithe" 3% of their income. But what exactly does the Bible teach about tithing and how does that apply to us today? Is there a way for us to become grace-filled givers? Can stewardship, giving, and financing the work of building the kingdom become a joy rather than a duty or a source of dissension? David Croteau has written at length on this topic before. In this volume of the Areopagus Critical Christian Issues series, he undertakes a brief examination of tithing, stewardship, and giving. He starts by asking just what the Israelites were called on to give by the scriptures. He then follows through the various arguments in favor of tithing as a law applicable to Christians and shows how these arguments fail. Finally, he discusses a basis for gracious, joyful giving as God directs each of us. In just 96 pages (including all the front matter) you'll find your understanding of Christian stewardship changed. You won't find here a license for apathy or selfishness. Instead, you'll find a challenge to discover and do God's will in your finances as in every other area of your life.

We also offer the message of eternal life to the "affluent poor" in need of the eternal riches our Savior provides. (See Luke 16:11.)

Download or read book Tithe of Income written by Kennedy Mukuka and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings to light what men say about the tithe of income and what God says on the subject. The book defines and contrasts a tithe as understood by men and as interpreted by God. It answers the question of whether tithe is of the old testament law or not; whether God requires our tithes of income or are a means of extortion of money from believers. Is tithe of income in the scriptures and have you seen where God has expressly commanded believers to tithe their income? The book precludes the author's opinions and interpretations of what the word of God says on tithes. It draws only from the interpretation provided by God in the scripture. This ideology bases on real scriptural truth that only God should interpret his word. The book analysis the tithes of Abraham and the argument that tithes predate the law. It scrutinizes the different types of tithes in the Mosaic law. It debunks when tithing is allowed by God and its implication on Christians. Further, the book evaluates why Jesus never preached tithing in his gospel. At the end of this book, you should be able to answer the question from God's perspective, whether a tithe of income made to man or God - whether it is scripture-based or not. This series of books, the word of God uncut, speak to the source of information in the Christian church. Information doe not only empower people but emancipates people as well. The church has not escaped from misinformation about God and the word of God. Many factors have contributed, such as greed and manipulation by some men of God; incompetence and erroneous teachings by men that have not been called by God. Lack of godly spirituality amongst men of God. Nonetheless, this does not mean that you are unable to find the truth on your own.Whatever the circumstances, this series of books unravels topics and issues that men of God teach or are generally accepted by people in the church as absolute truth, yet the word of God says otherwise. It is true that people have created many doctrines and teach many things on the word of God based on their understanding or interests; neglecting and ignoring what God says on a subject matter. Irrespective of what men teach the truth of the word of God can never be suppressed. There will always be a few that will rise with the hunger to ensure that you hear the complete story and begin to understand the word of God for what it is and not what you perceive or have been influenced to believe. Do you know that most people never get a perfect score on a test despite answering all questions and having studied the material? The reason this happens is that each wrong answer is a perception of your interpretation of what you read, but not what it said. This book aims to open up your mind to begin to read and understand scriptures for what they say and not what you perceive.I know and understand that truth is not validated by popularity or credibility of a man. People can choose to ignore and avoid the truth, but it is never invalidated. When you go back for it, you find it, but no man can search for a lie and find it. Therefore, avoiding the truth is delaying your reality. Begin today to find the truth about the tithe of income - lies of men or word of God.
