I have a lot to say about the subject of tithing/giving. I've been studying it a lot in my personal study and have developed many conclusions I did not have before. In February, Brian will start a series of lessons on giving that he will preach Sunday morning, a series that will last about a month.
Instead of just posting my discoveries, I want to start with a question. Wrestle with this question for a day or so and I'll post part 2 (already written) later in the weekend (Sunday maybe?).
Take your Bibles, and wrestle with this question:
Exactly why does God want us to give to him? Is he selfish? Does he want our money just to torture us with making another sacrifice?
How does our giving display God's holiness?
OK, so perhaps that should read "wrestle with THESE questionS:" but you get the idea.
I've also got a lot more to say about the Mitchell report, but I'll do giving first, as it is more important.
Grace and Peace!
