Dear Jack :

The Lord is really showing up here, thanks to a lot of people who have been praying..I just want it as an opportunity to minister, no more no less.

I want to start some discussions on tithes and offerings and I thought that I would get it yesterday when I expounded on the necessary elements of a contract and how that man's idea of the contract originated with God.

Just as a contract has to involve consideration, so are the tithe and offering to our covenant relationship . Can you really imagine a person coming before God in the judgement day and saying yes I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savoir but OH... I meant to offer you tithes and offerings ; just never got around it..

the tithe was the "pillar" that supported God's house in his covenant with Jacob, and still is.

I have an interesting story to tell you..very true..

There was this older gentelman, lifelong Christian, that I was talking to about tithing. I asked him if he tithed he said usually he gave around 5 % . I asked him if God had blessed him...he said OH you bet !

I told him--well can you imagine how much MORE God would have blessed you had you given 10 %.. This man was in his eighties.

. He got this funny look on his face and tells me..... Sonny !! You know,THAT RIGHT THERE is the reason I don't give the full 10%.... I have all that I need and more than I ever thought I would have....If God blessed me any more than what he already has I don't know what I would do with it.. He's given me too much already......Well I walked away speechless !!

.....gregor
