Like It Or Not, You Are God's Steward ... Prepare Yourself !

Common Sense Commentary: Why has God always required the tithe (10%) to be brought into His storehouses, His Temple in the O.T. and His Churches in the N.T. ? If money were evil, He would not have required it. It is not money but "the love of money" which is "the root of all evil" (1Tim.6:10). It is "the love of money" which prevents God's people from obeying God's command to "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." Mal.3:10. God's reason for setting "the tithes into the storehouse" principle is to fund His Holy work in this secular, physical, hungry world, using flesh and blood people who must be fed, clothed, housed and transported.

Now, that said, we, God's full time workers and Laymen, in His harvest, must also learn to be "good stewards" (1 Pet.4:10 & Lk.16:1-8). We must learn to invest our God given talents, both talents of gifted ability and talents of money (gold and silver), wisely.

Let me remind you that I am not pastoring a church or asking for your money. I don't need it and don't want it. God is taking care of Mrs. Blair and me sufficiently.

You need to be aware of the facts presented here ....
