Tithing Binds Many Christians, Why?
Why are so many Christians bound by tithing? A tithe means one-tenth. It is not sacred, merely a tenth. Why do people refuse to study the Bible to see God’s truth on this subject? They insist it is today’s biblical standard. Nevertheless, that is an intellectual exercise because the average giving is less than five percent.

Absolutely Free, He Paid It All – $1 Billion!“…Freely ye have received, freely give…” This statement has been on my mind for almost a day before I started writing this piece. Jesus said this to the disciples in Matthew 10:8 while sending them to preach, saying the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus said it rightly when he said freely ye have received. Because, to start with, how much did the disciples pay to be enrolled into the school of discipleship to be taught to become apostles? No, How much did they pay to receive the power to “…Bring health to the sick, Raise the dead, Touch the untouchables, Kick out the demons…”? The master I am sure, also fed them for free, gave them free accommodation, free tuition, free impartation, free, free, free… Everything was free for them! Therefore Jesus was right to tell them “…Freely ye have received, freely give…”

Should they express their loss of popularity in moody outbursts, or as if they had not a care in the world?
