Thanks for all the comments. Scott… no problem!

Robert. I’m glad that the video has made a difference to the way you think about tithing. As a new Christian I struggled with it a little because I was raised to believe that all churches want is your money so it can go into their pockets! But after reading about it I have a much better understanding now and give when I can because I choose to.

Thank you for your comment Pastor Chika. If it is an act of obedience then I definitely have come a long way because it’s not like me to do as I am told usually

An act of appreciation is definitely how I see it.

Thank you very much Rob for your comment. Tithing indeed must not be done as a routine but as an act of obedience to a God who always forgives us of all ‘unmentionable’ small and big wickednesses and rebellion. Tithing cannot be compared to anything we have recieved from God. Let us give as an act of appreciation!

I have just watched the video with a tear in my eye, trying not to be too emotional with my family around me.

For a long while I have thought that those who have experienced greater hardship have more reason to shout about the Lord than I do, but now I realise that in this (self-indulgent sin), I have allowed myself to miss out on some of the joy that the Lord has for me in our relationship.

So I repent Lord of my own folly, and ask that you forgive me of this sin and cleanse me of all unrighteousness

Makes me think differently about tithing, even though i have always tihthed, I feel that after this it will be less of a chore, and more of a gift to you Lord, to accomplish your wish in my church and the life of my family.

Thanks

Love your Blog, hope you don’t mind if I get some ideas for mine. Thanks for following me on Twitter! I think it is really important to get the message out about supporting our churches. I know so many are taking a big hit with recent financial situations. But I am remembering who was there for me when I needed them most: my pastor and my church. So I am going to be there for them during thick and thin. And for those in our congregation that need help, I am here with what resources I have; my money, my time, and my love and honesty. God has done such a miracle in my life, I will never be able to pay back the debt I owe!

Thanks for spreading the word!

God Bless!
