1 Once I put my tithe in the plate its none of my business how my pastor use's
HIS money that he receives from the tithe.
The Tithe is his. He like me is responsible to God to be a good stewardship of
his mony,
It makes me feel good to see MY pastor drive a nice car. (He drives a new PU his
wife a new Honda) If he were not a man of God he would not be my paster. I would
move.
To my way of thinking he is my paster he desurves better than I, I work hard and
have nice things.
I am blessed beyound mesure, Does the Paster desurve less? He watches for my
sole!
Its no ones business if I buy a new computer or a new anything... as long as I pay
my tith and give in the offering as God prospers me and pay my bills... God will
bless The same go's for my Paster... what he does with his $ is his buisness.
2. The offerings are to take cair of the church.
If the church has needs the saints are responsible to provide the funds. I think
this is the place many folks fall down in there giving.
If we as saints hear that there is a need in some area what would be wrong with
going down to the stoore and purchacing the item... If a Bro. or Sis is in need
why would I expect that it had to come from the Pasters pocket... God has blessd
my pocket also...time to reach for the wallet folks.
3. If you dont want to give... Dont wory about it! Hold on to it! God does not
need your $.
He will just bless those who are willing to give with more so they can
give more.
were truly Apostolic we would give all.... Read Acts 2
I'm not a preacher, only trying to be a saint.
