“Thus you shall set apart an offering to the Lord from all the tithes that you receive from the Israelites; and from them you shall give the Lord’s offering to the priest Aaron. Out of all the gifts to you, you shall set apart every offering due to the Lord; the best of all of them is the part to be consecrated.”
Numbers 18: 28-29
Since we started tithing, we always seem to have funds. We haven’t missed the money at all. We give a weekly check and then dedicate an amount each year for our new building program. As we have gotten older our priorities have changed – material things don’t mean as much personally. But, since we have both been active in our church planning, finances and other programs, we know the value of paying more than our own part. It really takes a lot of money to run the business of a church facility. The joy of the return is awesome! The more we can do for God and in the service of love for His people, the more satisfied and happy we are.
Prayer: “God, grant us the dedication to our local church. We need to see the possibilities we can provide the community and the world. Help us provide the funds needed to serve the word in our world. In Jesus name, we pray.”
