It is interesting to read all the post that this thread has created. It is especially interesting to read all the "biblical reasoning" why the tithe is some OT done away with system.

Well, as a strong advocate of tithing (actually in my opinion tithing is not even giving - our giving starts after the tithe because God said that the tithe is His, not that it becomes His) I have been told by people on AFF that "God would teach me something" meaning that I was going to loose income or go down because of my beliefs.

Well just a brief report in this poor economic climate. From a ministry standpoint December was our best month financially of 2008...Jan through April has been stronger than 2008 also. On a personal note our income and giving has increased also.

Wow! I love God's system...tithes and offerings are cool!!!!
