This past weekend, Dusty and Phil spoke on how God calls us to give our lives and money. Tithing is always a hard thing to do. We live in a society that is money centered and not God centered. Our first inclination is going to be to hoard our money. That is what we see everyone around us do time and time again. But God calls us to a different standard. He commands us to give a tithe, to give offerings, and to even help the poor. We as Christian need to realize that we do not need money when we have God. All the money we do have is because God allowed us to have it; so it really isn't ours, it's His. We can stop stressing about money once we come to realize that God has all the money in the world! He controls where every cent and dollars goes. In Malachi 3:10, God tells us that He will greatly bless us if we bring a tithe and that we should test Him in this. God is actually telling you to test Him! So go ahead and test God; start tithing, start helping the poor, stop hoarding your money. And the Bible says that the Lord will "open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows" (Malachi 3:10b).
