Tithing

Was thinking bout this topic today.....
1. Malachi- If we don't tithe we are robbing God
2. Mark 12:43-44- Give all we have
3. Luke 6:38- God blesses us when we give
4. 2 Corinthians 8:2-4- Give as much as you can plus more
5. 2 Corinthians 9:7- God loves a cheerful giver
6. Luke 3:10-11-Give to others as well
7.Acts 4:32,34-35-Share possessions
8.James 2:14-17-Faith without action is dead
9.1 John 3:16-19-Love with actions and in truth
10. 2 Corinthians 8:9- Jesus became poor, through his poverty he became rich
How funny is it that you can come across some Christians who don't even understand the important in giving? Not funny at all...
I was surprised the amount of kids/youth who aren't brought up knowing that sacrificing yourself to Christ is more than just words. Its giving everything you have and that also includes money.
Why are we scared to mention that to others? Someone kept winging to me about how they don't have any money. So i asked if she tithed the full 10%. She didn't tithe at all!!! I told her that even thought she gets hardly anything to still give God back 10%...guess what she has started tithing and God is blessing her with more.
My friends lets try to mention to people about this topic. God has given us a chance for life and don't we believe that what we have is his? Then we should act like it and give back to God!!!
