    Greetings and welcome from God our Father. Grace and peace from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The tithing and offering series will conclude with me leaving a few IMPORTANT!!! Reminders for us to know, understand, remember, retain, and APPLY.  Let us  purpose in our hearts to honor God when we pay our tithes and present our offerings( gifts )   to the LORD our God. Tithing is a COMMANDMENT and Offerings is a gift that express and measures our LOVE towards God. Tithing is a tenth( 10% and holy ) and a Offering is given FREELY and LIMITLESS. WE should NEVER go to a Saturday or Sunday worship service( depending on the worship schedule of your church ) on that hollowed and sacred ground EMPTY HANDED EVER!!! Always pray to God and get our affairs in order with HIM. Furthemore settle ANY disputes or disagreements with ANY appointed leaders, ministers, and brothers and sisters in the LORD before we pay our tithes present our offerings to God. Every ap...

EVERY professed believer ( Christian ) , appointed officer, and minister of the church body of  Jesus Christ is to give an offering ( gift ) to the LORD our God in ADDITION to paying our tithes. This is to be done EVERY Saturday and Sunday service( depending on the denomination and congregation that we belong to and their schedule for worship services ). There are NO!!! EXCEPTIONS AND NO!!! ONE IS EXCLUDED. ALL parents should give their children something in order to teach them in the  principles of honoring God in their giving. NOTE: Obviously, one cannot give an offering to the LORD God without having a steady source of income to do so. However , a believer in this position that has been blessed with $50.00( dollars and God being the source of that gift )should...

    Welcome readers to offering part 2. Last week I wrote about offerings in a general sense and showed the differentiation between a tithe and offering. Now we are going to delve into this subject matter more specifically. The following areas will be covered like: The proper condition of our giving a  offering to God. Who should be giving an  offering to God. What sources our offerings are to come from? A. Like our tithes, offerings should be  given to God FREE from ANY blemishes( SIN ). Please!!! Read the following verses of scripture: Leviticus 1:10, 3:1, 4:3, and 5:18. As a matter of fact, ANYTHING that we present to God is to be HOLY ( undefiled, free from Sin ). We are to EXAMINE our motives and purposes for giving our offerings to God. Are we giving to show off? Or are we giving to recieve a blessing or some other material want or desire from God? How about GIVING because we love and honor HIM for who HE IS. Also we should have a TRUE desire for ...
