Richard Galvan I was speaking more to people's current monetary condition than their income. If someone has no money in their bank account to give, they can still do good. In fact, offering service can lead them to find new ways to make money and get out of their poor position faster.

I agree when I began tithing I had a poor finiancial mindset, when I began to give something in my heart changed I stopped tithing for a few months and my heart changed back to how it was before thinking about myself.

I do love giving but its time to save me first. I forgive myself and others too. I will return to give in the future.. The burden was lifted off of me.. Glory to God, Amen

@ShepherdMinistry 2 жыл бұрын

The Bible mentions forgive/forgiveness 90+ times and it’s never used in the context to forgive yourself. Why? Because that is a self focus and the Bible’s context is a selfless focus with God being the center of your life. Accept Gods forgiveness, no need for your own.

I can pay my bills but I could get out of debt faster. I think I will obey and give Him his money back first. It all belongs to Him anyway. I’m just the steward.

I respectfully disagree. It is possible to give your way out of debt. If you don't have enough to meet your need, then turn it into seed. In 2015 my mother died, I lost my job, I was evicted, I was supporting two older relatives, and I wound up in a motel room for over a year. Life hit me hard from every direction. I never stopped tithing, and when I couldn't afford to pay off an unexpected bill, I would use the money I did have to bless a friend or a relative and God would increase the seed & give me more than enough to pay the bill. God gave me a better paying job, anonymous coworkers who didn't know what I was going through left money on my desk, checks started to arrive in the mail. God even paid off a $950 car repair I couldn't afford within two days. God carried me through 2015 (& He's still carrying me). I understand what Mr. Ramsey is saying. It is a personal choice, but if you tithe and give offering you get out of debt much sooner, and it's a lot of fun watching God blow your mind. You can't out give God. :)

More than anything else, tithing proves to us that God is our source, not our job or our income stream. Too many people get caught up in putting their faith and trust in a job instead of God. Then when they are asked to do something immoral or illegal to keep that job, they do it because they are afraid to lose that job. When you know that God is your source and He will provide, you can stand on His word and know that you'll be OK. If you lose a job through no fault of your own, God will simply make another way for you. That job is not your provider, God is.

Thomas Eidson Wow. You think those who don't give away their hard-earned money in the name of an imaginary figure in the sky won't have success with money or life because they won't be "blessed", and he's the one with flawed logic??

I’m still able to give but in smaller amounts than most. When someone treats me to dinner, I like to contribute to the tip. I always tip whoever cuts my hair. But I make it clear to people that I cannot afford to go out to eat. I make it clear that if they want me to go out, I’ll probably just have water and contribute to the tip. And of course, my tithe is simply fit into my budget, and if I have to postpone a tithe, I know he’ll understand.

Tithing is a commandment, so I totally disagree with Mr Ramsey, we are saved by grace after we do all we can with our personal lives, the Bible saids that faith without works is death, so paying tithings its a commandment, so as long the other commandments when we don’t obey it’s a way of sinning, as simple as that, the scriptures also say that “ I the lord am bound when you do what I say, but when you do not what I say you have no promise” so we all should obey this great commandment.

Churches are a RIP off. Jesus would be ashamed at the massive amounts of money that churches and religions have accumulated. The catholic church is worth 200 billion!! Wake up.

How do you tithe if you don't have a church or not a Christian?

@Mary-zj9jz 5 жыл бұрын

Give to a charity. Schools can also use some help with supplies or you can give money to pay off lunches for kids with a negative balance.

@thomaseidson6374 5 жыл бұрын

At that point you give of your time/financial gains to a charity of your choice or even set aside money as "blessings" for others that you choose personally. Maybe that pregnant waitress you give a HUGE tip; or that single mom at the gas pump you pay for her full tank when she could only put 5 dollars in. People forget that the giving is more for you than it is for the other person. It take what the Bible calls the spirit of Mammon off your heart. It protects you against the love of money and material possessions.

If I do not attend a local church, who would I tithe to?

@joyebriggs 5 жыл бұрын

jvolstad pray and let God show you some options. Recommendations Donations to domestic assault shelter. Homeless shelter, camp scholarships for kids, food pantries Look up a poor county and find the most in need charities Find a financially struggling church and donate While I was not affiliated with a church, I prayed on where to donate.

You could foster an oversea child. Womens refuge. Give to a food bank. Find a charity that you like. I like eye site charity and water charity.

You bring yourself an envelope with you every time you go to church so you don't have to look like the man with nothing to put in there. If you feel you need to write God a letter. You tell him how you need to get out of your hole before you can help your brother out of his. I am not a God-fearing man nor do I attend church. But I know that no God should ask a man to rip a sleeve off of his shirt if it is his only one

Tithing is the Old Law that Jesus came and fulfilled and done away with if you believe in tithing you most also believe in slaughtering animals for a sacrifice for your sins. Jesus done away with the old law so we don't have to do that anymore. But you should give from the heart.

@Finnimagoo 5 жыл бұрын

Amen brother, infact if we were meant to continue following old testament laws we should be giving up to 23.3% of our income, not only the 10% levitical tithe most christians refer to

@freshtake6984 3 жыл бұрын

Dave, you're wrong on this. You are not qualified to give people advice on financial matters if this is your stance. You should NOT be giving a church money voluntarily if you OWE PEOPLE MONEY. God doesn't want or need your money, which is made by man. God prefers people who live up to their obligations and take care of their children, not people who pay for a pastors vacation.

@seawardbnd 5 жыл бұрын

Tithes were given to the tribe of Levi who did not receive an inheritance. What inheritance has the church body received that the ministry has not? I believe in supporting the church, but tithing is not the formula for born again believers in the church age.
