The Blessing of the Tithe

When we look at the scripture, we see that the role of the church is to be evangelistic and discipleship-making. It tells us in Acts 1:8 that we will be witnesses for Christ. The scriptures then tell us in Matthew 28:19 to “Go therefore and make disciples…” It tells us in Luke 14:23, “‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” And in Matthew 16:17-18, it says that the church is Christ’s church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Thus, it is our honest endeavor to preach the gospel through the church. God set up a system for the church to be maintained and supported in its actions called tithes and offerings.

I’ve written this book so that you can understand the biblical information that supports the tithe and the rationale behind it. It is my endeavor to answer some of the very pertinent questions that people ask about tithing in this book and to motivate you to be responsible to God with the tithe. Without the tithe, the church cannot carry the gospel effectively, and the believer lives beneath his covenant privileges, because the Bible calls him cursed for robbing God of the tithe. Prayerfully, you will gain insight and understand the awesome responsibility we have to provide relevant, effective ministry. We all must do our part. May God bless you as you continue in your walk with God!
