Should I Tithe 10% To My Church?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Let's talk about tithing! In my view, tithing is very important. God gives us Jesus, he gives us life, he transforms us, and makes us new in Jesus. He sends His Holy Spirit to live in us and make us holy.

The American Philosophy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2021

God blessed this nation over the two hundred and fifty years it has existed, but our sins and growing hatred of God has reduced it to a rubble of what it once was. Can anything be done for America to steer it back to its Judeo-Christian foundation? You may not like the answer.

Considering all the anger, rage, chaos, and moral rot we see in this country, I saw no need to change what the Lord had impressed upon me. Even now it cries out to anyone having ears to ...read more

It is a rare person who does not like benefits. The working we do, the toiling we face, and the utter anguish we endure are all resolved when benefits follow closely behind. You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more
