Isaiah 43:
10
"You are my witnesses," declares
the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you
may know and believe me and understand that I am he.
The
Barna research group suggests, that most people don’t tithe, because they don’t
really know God or His Word.
People
don’t really know what God has to say about earning money—saving money—spending
money, or investing money.
Anything we need to understand about these financial
areas, are all found in the Bible.
Currently, there is a failure in the church, to teach
it’s people the truth about giving.
Some
people have formed opinions, from churches they used to attend, that did not teach on the principal of stewardship.
Do you
know God?
If we
do, then we’ll know what He says about how to use our money.
One
small group in a church in Clearview Tennessee, decided to test God in this
area.
In one
year, this small group took God to task, and ended up paying off $150,000.00 of
their local churches debt.
There
are some conspiracy theories in the flock, that suggest some of the churches
money, goes to pay for the Pastor’s retirement home in Aruba.
Make
no mistake about that—I have never been to Aruba—and don’t plan on going there
anytime soon.
Folks
will forever look for excuses, not to do what God has called us to
do.
It’s
most likely because, we might not know Him as well as we should…
