What you are missing here is that they Tithed their Wheat, Grain etc... Because it was their LivelyHood... Money unfortunately Allows us to buy those things. To pay the Pastor, to have people Evangelize around the World. It is funny how you say everyone was Poor! I don't know where you got that fro...

Hi authentic, While I agree with you that the incessant emphasis on giving, born out of the Purpose-driven church movement may be irritating and serving to enrich, I do think there is merit in giving to the church. The good fruits of the body of Christ is not only evangelism, but also charity. Most...

Why are Christians still tithing

i hear alot that we are still supposed to tithe as Christians even though it was part of the law of Moses. If we are now under Grace and we no longer live according to the written law but the law of the Spirit then why do we "drink new wine from old wine skins"? Furthermore, if we are to c...
