SUMMARY OF REASONS EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD TITHE

1.  The tithe is the Lord's.....it is not ours!  Lev. 27:30

2. God commands us to tithe...to refuse is disobedience! (Mal.3:8-10)

3. Tithing is an act of Love toward our Lord! (John 14:21)  (If we love the Lord we will obey Him and keep His commandments)

4. Tithing recognizes God's Ownership of Everything!

5. Tithing helps me to grow in my Walk with Christ (Matt.6:33)  As I Tithe my Income, it helps me to trust God to meet my needs as He promises in His Word.  Tithing helps WORRY!

6. Tithing is Good business!   (Mal. 3:10)   If I invest 10% of my income and God promises to open up the windows of heaven to bless me more than I can even imagine....that makes good business sense!

7. Tithing helps my church carry out the great commission.  (Acts 1:8)  It takes money to buy tracts, SS material, Support missionaries, and to pay preachers, and buy radio time....etc.

8. A tithing church will not have to beg for money and have bake sales to meet its budget and pay its bills.

9. A church of tithers will have plenty of willing workers! (Matt. 6:21)  People who give their tithe to a church will have their heart there and will work to make sure it goes!

10. Tithing will keep us from the lust of money. (1 Timothy 6:9,10)  When we give that tithe check each week it does an amazing thing.....it delivers us from the love of money and the lust that comes with it.....and all the sorrows and heartaches that will follow.
