Acts 17:25
The God who created the Universe and everything in it is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and does not dwell in sanctuaries produced by human hands. He is also not served by the hands of men, as if he needs something, because He himself grants to all the life, the breath and supplies all our other necessities
Many religions preach a great deal about giving tithes and offerings. This message is always evident in churches, temples, meeting rooms, cathedrals, the Internet, etc.
People give tithes, offer offers, but 99% of them think they are giving, that is, by helping God's work, or NGOs, or Charities.
The right view to give tithing and offering is to understand through faith that God is the one who helps us first to give.
I know that many give and miss after that money, (tithes and offerings) and even stop giving because they have to pay the basic bills.
True tithing and offering is Jesus who died and rose for us, and through him, that is, of the faith that he imparts to us, we can give tithes and offerings, that which comes from Himself.
When we give without this spiritual understanding, we seem to lack it, and we grumble, we murmur, we can not overcome the desert, the lack of financial condition, the scarcity, the misery in our soul, our life.
It is normal to criticize the pastors, who asks for offerings and tithes, because we do not yet have understanding, faith to believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit. It is the faith that helps us serve God, his cause, fulfill the mission, the IDE.
And without faith, we distrust even our shadow about giving money to churches, institutions, NGOs, to help others, etc.
And even when there is no transparency, nobody gives satisfaction to the money, the accounting reports of the religions, that is, how much it enters and how much it comes out in values, is still more difficult to be trusted.
But, Jesus is the true tithe and the true offering of love for humanity, that is, all the blessings, including the financial, he conquered on the cross.
It is with this faith that we return, we give honor, we serve with action of grace, gratitude. He has already given us his faith, life, which represents the tithes and the offerings of his love ..
God bless us with our faith in Jesus.
