A WALK THOUGH MALACHI -8
MALACHI 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me. But you say,when did we rob You? In tithes and offerings.
Today's verse talks of a very sensitive issue in the church today - some have taken a very leglistic approach and say you must give or you will not be right with God - some have gone the other way saying you don't need to give a thing to the church -neither view is right - The Word says that would a man rob God? This is an absurd statement -for a man cannot rob God - or can he? Jesus talked about money often - He knew what money would do in our lives- lets face the facts - we all need money to survive in this world and our churches also need money to run - they must have enough to keep the lights on and the pastor and associates feed and housed -we all enjoy getting a weekly or bi-weekly pay check - and we all would be hurting without it - our Pastors are the same - God set this system up -and its a good system - the world says to get what you can - but God says be a cheerful giver - and I don't believe its anyone's business but God's what you give -some want to rate us by what we give- lest we forget the wirdow's mite - give what God leads you to give- for some thats 10% others it may be 20% but whatever the amount -we should give it as an act of worship -not so we can be blessed finaically - or that we can earn our way - but its us just saying to God that He owns it all and He simply wants a small part back - its all HIS anyway - and we have nothing that was not given to us!
Lets give out of worship -not some oblication! God is good and HE wants us to be cheerful givers!
a side note: You cannot out give GOD!
In CHRIST we can become cheerful givers!
Prayers*Praises*Previews:
Coming tomorrow- I will be sending out a very important email from Bill Keller of LivePrayer.com - I don't often do this - but this email really did a good job of summing up those who deny Christ - and who's goal is to destory the church and everything God stands for!
Me and Missy saw this movie about a year ago called The God Who Is Not There - and this email goes into in detail - we went to witness to the lost there -
Look for this special e-mial tomorrow! Thank you! Daniel
