TITHES | |
Malachi
3:10 Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine
house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.

TITHE,
the Greek word "ma‘aser " (meaning tenth part) is from the old
law, and it's the how much to give, not the how to give.
We are under another dispensation, the new law, new covenant or new
dispensation. We are under the dispensation that Christ died for. Our
commandments come from the New Testament. In this case we find the how to
give in 1 Corinthians 16:2, which is from our pay or wages and not from a
man influenced bake sale or dinners.

1
Corinthians 16:2
Upon
the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God
hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
|

The
"How Much"
we are to give is based on being a cheerful giver.
|
|
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. | |
