​The Bible tells us that tithing is a way to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances. Because here is the deal: Tithing is not for God’s benefit. He does not need our money. Instead, tithing is meant for our benefit because sacrificing a portion of our income reminds us to rely on God to meet our needs. Plus, it makes us more aware of the needs of others.

​Can I ask you a couple of questions? What is in your heart? What is your attitude about tithing to the church? Let's look at what God’s Word says about the attitude of giving.

​What if I told you that I have a heart condition? What would your reaction be? Would you respond with gasps of "oh no?" Or, would you feel sorry for me? The truth is, I do have a heart condition…and so do you.

​Have you ever been talking with someone, and they ask you a question about the Bible and you did not know the answer? If your answer is YES, I want you to know you are not alone. Sometimes people come to me and ask questions that I really do not have the answers to. I often feel bad about it, but I remind myself that no one has all the answers. So, what I do in this situation is tell the person that I don’t know the answer, but I would love to research it and get back to you.
