What is Tithing and Tithe?<\/strong>
It is a tenth of your income. It\u2019s in the Bible, Leviticus 27:30, TLB. \u201cA tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord\u2019s, and is holy.\u201d<\/p>\nWhat is tithe used for?<\/strong>
In the Old Testament, the tithe was used to support the priests. It\u2019s in the Bible, Numbers 18:20-21, NKJV. \u201cThen the LORD said to Aaron: \u201cYou shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel. \u201cBehold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting.<\/p>\nDoes God need our tithe?<\/strong>
No. It\u2019s in the Bible, Psalm 50:10-12, NKJV. \u201cFor every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you; for the world is Mine, and all its fullness.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”19px”]<\/p>\n
Why should I tithe?<\/strong>
Tithing is a way of teaching us that God must be our first priority. It\u2019s in the Bible, Deuteronomy 14:22-23, TLB. \u201cYou must tithe all of your crops every year. Bring this tithe to eat before the Lord your God at the place he shall choose as his sanctuary; this applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn of your flocks and herds. The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives.\u201d<\/p>\nWhen should I tithe?<\/strong>
We are to return the tithe to God first\u2014before we start spending money on other things. It\u2019s in the Bible, Proverbs 3:9, TLB. \u201cHonor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income.\u201d<\/p>\nChrist endorsed tithing.<\/strong>
It\u2019s in the Bible, Matthew 23:23, NKJV. \u201cWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer Section” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_image=”http:\/\/pilgrimrest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Screen-Shot-2019-07-11-at-12.15.05-PM.png” custom_padding=”90px||0||false|false”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Footer Area” _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Montserrat|600||on|||||” header_2_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||5px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_fold=”20%” animation_starting_opacity=”1000%”]<\/p>\n
