Why I Quit Tithing

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019

Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

How Do We Run The Race When We Can’t Run?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012

This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more

Giving

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 14, 2022

Jesus teaches us a strange math, that when we give to others, we gain more back than we gave.

It was a very long time ago that I learned the basic math facts in school. If I have two hymnals, and I can find people to give me two more hymnals, how many hymnals will I have? Four. I came out ahead. And now that I have four hymnals, if I give one away, how many will I have? Only 3. I’ve ...read more
