What are we to do with our tithes?
My Hi-lite: Deuteronomy 14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Read verses 23 and 26 very carefully.
Deuteronomy 14:22 Thou
shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth
forth year by year.
23 And
thou
shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in
the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the
tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of
thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou
mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
24 And if the way be too
long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be
too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name
there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
25 Then shalt thou turn
it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the
place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
26 And
thou
shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,
for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or
for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou
shalt eat there before the LORD thy God,
and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
27 And the Levite that
is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor
inheritance with thee.
28 At the end of three
years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year,
and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
29 And the Levite, (because
he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless,
and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and
be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine
hand which thou doest.
It doesn't get taught exactly that way in many of our churches. How about yours?
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
