Tithing is a very important thing for Christians. It is God's command. Tithing is not optional.
When we put God first in everything that we do, He will open the windows of Heaven for us.
It is the one place in the Bible where God says to prove Him or test him, "Bring ye
the whole
tithe into
the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith,
saith Jehovah
of hosts, if I will not
open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be room enough [to receive it].Malachi 3:10. Obedience is better
than sacrifice.
Just like we were saved by faith, we are to tithe and carry out the principles of
tithing by faith. We should not be trying to figure out and rationalize what tithing is. Everything
belongs to the Lord anyway, and when we pay our tithes, God will take care of us. God's ways
are indeed higher than our ways. Amen.
