Many church leaders feel they must rely
on tithing to have the income needed to do the work they feel God called them
to do. This just is not true. God would not ask any of us to do anything with
out making a way for it to be done.
·
We can trust God to
meet our needs His way, by faith.
·
We do not need to
improvise a way ourselves, because we fear we can't make it on faith alone.
·
God is full of grace
and mercy, He understands our fears, but requires we trust Him nonetheless.
I have talked with many leaders about
this issue. They mostly turn me off because they have accepted this way of
collecting funds and are not willing to change. It is easier to try to make a
congregation pay 10% than to trust God to bring in the needed funds by faith.
Some have told me they agree with me, but they do not feel people will give unless
they teach tithing, they tell me. This is a problem when one looks to people to
give instead of God. Look to God to provide for you His way and you will
receive what you need and more. Leader in the Lord, I ask you to think this
through, you can not teach that we are no longer under the law, but grace
through Jesus and then say, but I have decided to keep the law of tithing
anyway. God said do not put my people under bondage again, Jesus died once and
for all, to set us free. Law is law (tithing is law) and Grace is Grace (free
will giving is grace)! I have communicated with God on this issue for 26+
years, the first 10 I tried to prove tithing is for the New testament church
because all the churches I was involved in were teaching it and I felt I must be
hearing it wrong. However each time I did a study on this, I found what I was
hearing was from the Holy Spirit and was surely true, tithing is not for the
New Testament church. I will happily show anyone interested in this what I have
found and why. When you do it Gods way you will be blessed beyond your wildest
dreams! God will lead people to give into your ministry by grace and love, not
law.
