If I can’t bear to part with a measly 10% of my GROSS earnings, and do it in good spirit, then I question whether I control the money or the money controls me.

So why not tithe 100%? I mean if you really believe what you said.

Because He commanded otherwise.

I give my tithe and more when it’s available. It is not throwing it away. I just was trying to justify why you can’t give all your money, not just 10% in tithing, if that’s what you meant by 100%.

I believe that you should live debt free, bad example, sorry. God is first, yes, you will be blessed.

How interesting.
Why go into debt at all? You can live debt-free.
Give all of your advance to God. You’ll be swimming in blessing, no?

Janessa, I can’t believe that you are only 16, that was very well written and I agree with you.

Rick@ You can’t be stupid and throw all of the money away. God say’s to also honer all your debts, don’t steal, so you have to pay your bills.

Now I’m only 16, but growing up in the church I have always tithed becuase I know that EVERYTHING I have is the Lords, and the tithe is just saying “Alright God, You are the King of Kings, the wealth of the world is in Your hands, all I have belongs to you and the 10% just represents the other 90% that is Yours too.”

Dan said;

“think of it this way, why should the Lord bless you if you don’t keep his commandments”

The Lord blesses us because He LOVES US. The Bible says that he “lavishes good gifts on His children” and and that He “delights in” giving us good things. It also says that we have “FREELY RECIEVED” (not becuase of anything we have done), and so we sould “FREELY GIVE”.

This is precicely the reason why I tithe. When I tithe I do it because I love the Lord, and I want to give back to Him a portion of the incredible abundance he has blessed me with. You do it expecting NOTHING at all in return. To do it with any other motivation would be evil and manipulative. Christ dosen’t offer us a life of riches in the material sense, he bids us “Come and die” so that we may gain richness of HEART, and a life that is abunandt because the Son of God now lives THROUGH us, rather than us selfishly living for our own gain.

“Whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever looses his life for My sake shall find it.”

Matthew 10:39

What you now get for tithing is pretty buildings, shopping malls and black cars with security details.
