How
terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law and you
Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest
part of your income, but you ignore the important things of the law-
justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but
you should not leave undone the more important things.
Mark
10:29,30 KJV
29
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you There is no man
that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for My sake, and The Gospel's,
30
But he shall receive and hundredfold now in this time, houses, and
brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with
persecutions; and in the world to come eternal Life.
Luke
6:38 NLT
If
you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full
measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and
running over. Whatever measure you use in giving -large or small-it
will be used to measure what is given back to you.
Luke
11:42 NLT (Jesus)
But

yes, but you should not leave undone the more important
things.
Luke
16:10-13 NLT

"Unless you are faithful in small matters, you won't be faithful
in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won't be honest with
greater responsibilities.
11
And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you
with the true riches of heaven?
12
And if you are not faithful with other people's money, why should you
be trusted with money of your own?
13
No one can serve two masters, For you will hate one and love the
others, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve
both God and money."

20:35 KJV

If I were doing this of my own free will, then I would deserve
payment. But God has chosen me and given me this sacred trust, and I
have no choice.
18
What then is my pay? It is the satisfaction I get from preaching The
Good News without expense to anone, never demanding my rights as a
preacher.

This means I am not bound to obey people just because they pay me,
yet I have become a servant of everyhone so that I can bring them to
Christ.

offering..."

bodies.

Remember this -a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small
crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.

must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't

who gives cheerfully

And God will generously provide all you need. then you will always
have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

minister, let him do it as the ability which God giveth: that God in
all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
