your mistaken view ?
If you are in error about the tithe and offering , is God obligated to overlook your error and honor
your intentions ?
Does the entire tithe and offering issue end with directives from your preacher ... your church ... your denomination ? Does God answer to them ?
And to whom are you truly accountable for the use of your money, labor ... and life ?
All of us are limited in resources , energy and time. If the Living Creator requires , or even suggests , He wants a local church tithe from you - I want you to give it.
If He even hints that a tithe and offering is His will for promoting His agenda - I want you participating !
But if He has other priorities for the use of your money - enunciated clearly and unmistakably in the Bible - that is what I want for you ... and me. Because that is the place - the only place - God will be honored.
And that is the only place true Kingdom expansion will occur.
God's way is the only way that will stand.
