Download or read book The Importance of Tithes and Offerings written by Jacqui D. Williams and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-06-28 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we operate in the law, order, and principles of God’s Word, we position ourselves to experience His best. In Malachi 3:10, God says, “and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Giving “tithes and offerings” is serious business, and I believe this is not only a practice for the Old Testament, but for the New Testament, as well as for today. We honor God when He is first place in our life. Sowing “tithes and offerings” is especially honorable when it is given from our first fruits and not our last fruits. Proverbs 3:9, says, “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase:” In 1 Corinthians 14:40, it states, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” This lets us know that there is “order” expected even in our giving. In this book, I address whether “tithes and offerings” is a practice that should be honored today, and if so, what is the order according to God’s Word. I also discuss what I have learned through my life experiences, that has proven to me, obedience to God’s Word is far better than sacrifice. (1 Samuel 15:22)

Download or read book The Coming Revolution in Church Economics written by Mark DeYmaz and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our entire understanding of funding and sustainability must change. Tithes and offerings alone are no longer enough to provide for the needs of the local church, enable pastors to pursue opportunities, or sustain long-term ministry impact. Growing financial burdens on the middle class, marginal increases in contributions to religious organizations, shifting generational attitudes toward giving, and changing demographics are having a negative impact on church budgets. Given that someday local churches may be required to pay taxes on the property they own and/or lose the benefit of soliciting tax-deductible gifts, the time to pivot is now. What's needed is disruptive innovation in church economics. For churches to not only survive but thrive in the future, leaders must learn to leverage assets, bless the community, empower entrepreneurs, and create multiple streams of income to effectively fund mission. You'll learn why you should and how to do so in The Coming Revolution in Church Economics.

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."

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Download or read book The Trojan Horse of Tithing written by Jonathan Paul Brenneman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trojan Horse Of Tithing is a plea to Christian leaders, written from a Charismatic/Pentecostal perspective. Jonathan Brenneman exposes the inherent problems with common tithe teachings, highlighting serious issues with even so-called "grace tithing." He demonstrates how deception starts subtly and documents the growing acceptance in mainstream Christianity of even overt teachings of salvation by tithing. Millions of people today now believe they will never even enter heaven without their tithes. No matter how much we try to dress tithe teachings up as grace, they continue to be the root of serious problems.The arguments contained here against the modern tithe tradition are thorough, compelling, and overwhelming. The gospel is worth giving not only our money, but even our lives to promote. However, modern tithe traditions have no place in this because they are not based on truth and misrepresent the way God relates to people. Rather than helping to advance, the gospel, they distort it. God is calling his church to get rid of the leaven and return to a powerful and pure gospel message!The Trojan Horse of Tithing is one of the most comprehensive overviews of multiple arguments against tithing. Few books make such a compelling case as to why tithing is incompatible with the gospel, or deal so thoroughly with less logical but emotionally powerful objections such as "but tithing works!" We include: -What could have possibly convinced strong proponents of tithing such as Derek Prince to change their minds?-Documentation and evidence of the extent of literal "salvation by tithing" doctrine in today's churches, and demonstration that this is the logical implication of even many of the most common so-called "grace tithing" teachings.-Dozens of serious logical problems with all of the common pro-tithing arguments.-A historical study on Melchizedeck and the related terms "El Elyon," "Zedek," "Salem," "Heaven," and "Earth."-11 commandments of God that churches regularly break for their tithe tradition.-9 serious problems with using Malachi as support for Christian tithing.-The history of tithing.-Contrast between the Babylonian tithe and the Jewish tithe. Which is our modern tithe tradition based on?-How the modern tithe tradition violates the statutes and the basic principles of the Jewish tithe.-What tithing and witchcraft have in common.-How tithing undermines Spirit-led giving.-How people are stepping into supernatural giving and supernatural provision without the tithe.-The historical and cultural context of ministerial support in scripture.-Why some of the world's most successful church planters see tithing as a hindrance to church multiplication.-How tithe teachings promote a poverty spirit.-A prophetic dream for the church.

Download or read book The Truth Behind Tithing And Offerings written by Jody Ackles and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tithing still remains one of the most debatable topics within the realms of Christianity. It's a fact that pastors prey on the gullibility of their congregants, aptly backed by their shallow minds to squeeze their hard-earned money from them by quoting obsolete scriptures to carry out their schemes. There are several verses in the Bible that show Christians- followers of Christ are not mandated to pay tithes. But interestingly, these same Christians allow their pastors whom they hold as demigods to interpret the verses for them. What aren't preachers telling us about their demands for tithes and their requests for offerings? The short answer is we're being deceived, bullied, and manipulated. The longer answer is this book. It asks tough questions and provides biblical and common sense answers. Here are the chapter titles: -Why the System of Mandatory Tithes and Manipulated Offerings Must Be Destroyed -The Psychology of Clergy Financial Manipulation -The Crisis of Crisis Giving -How Much Does It Cost the American Church to Preach the Gospel? -How Much Did It Cost Jesus to Preach the Gospel? -How Much Did It Cost the Early Church to Preach the Gospel? -The Creation and Rise of the Financial Tithe -Answers to Pre-Law Arguments for Mandatory New Testament Tithes -The Definition of Tithes During the Period of the Law of Moses -Who Paid Tithes Under the Law of Moses? -The Law of Tithing and the Tithing Holiday -The Most Abused Scriptures in the Bible: Malachi 3:8-11 -Understanding the Original Sabbath Helps Us Understand the Original Tithe -Man Was Not Made for the Sabbath--Or the Tithe -The Law of Human Need is Superior to the Law of the Tithe -The Gospels Do Not Endorse Christian Tithing -The New Testament Condemns Christian Tithing -The Apostles Condemned Legalism (and thus Christian Tithing) in the Early Church -No Christian Tithing in Hebrews 7 -Jesus is the Last Legitimate Tithe -Christians Must Give According to the Law of Love

Let's examine the Scriptures, expose misconceptions, refute false teachings, and get back to classical Christian teaching in line with the Will of the LORD!
