The Last Prophet
Chapter 6: It Pays To Tithe
Questions to Ponder
1. What was your first job?
Administrative Assistant II - Basically I filed paperwork of all kinds for all the departments, and filled in as receptionist when needed.
2. What was the mistake Israel made regarding money?
They kept robbed God, by not tithing!
3. What does the word "tithe" mean? How does it apply to our earnings?
Tithe means 10%. When we earn money, from a job, or as an award, or in the form of a gift...we need to be obedient and give 10% of our income back to God!
4. What does God promise to those who faithfully tithe?
God promises to renew our faith, rebuke our foes, and restore our fruitfulness...in another words God will take care of every need you have and bless you beyond anything you can imagine. Pastor Bill points out the fact that we are better off living on 90% of our income with God, than living on 100% without God.
5. What adjustment do you need to make regarding the way you handle your money?
I think my husband and I need to make sure we give out of love and thankfulness, not just because it is a law. As Pastor Bill say's in this chapter...many parents do not realize that there is a law that says you have to feed and care for your children, but they love and care for their children anyway, just because they love them. We need to give back to God not just because God has commanded us to, but because we love Him and appreciate the sacrifice He has made for us, because He loves us.
