Summary: Tithing and stealing from God
Having regular employment, he soon became a partner. After a few years his partner died, and William became the sole owner of the business.
He now resolved to keep his promise to the old captain; he made an honest soap gave a full pound, and instructed his bookkeeper to open an account with the Lord, and carry one-tenth of all his income to that account. He prospered; his business grew; his family was blessed; his soap sold, and he grew rich faster than he had ever hoped. He then gave two-tenths; prospered more than ever; then he gave three-tenths; then four-tenths; then five-tenths.
He educated his family; settled all his plans for life; and gave all his income to the Lord's work. He prospered more than ever. This is the story of Colgate, who has given millions of dollars to the Lord's cause, and left a name that will never die
What are we bringing God?
Tithing means that, as believers—we give one-tenth of our income to the Lord.
In our Scripture Lesson for this morning, God says, “Bring the whole tithe into my storehouse…Test me in this…and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”
“Storehouse tithing” means that we give our tithe to God through the local church.
This is God’s designated storehouse!!!
