Giving to God and for godly causes is a topic that has attracted mixed opinions over the years. Whereas there should be no debate as to whether we should support the activities of the local church or the Ministers of the gospel, giving to God should never be appear like we are trading with him. Tithes and offering were crucial in supporting godly work in the old testament and are still crucial today. The only difference is that believers in Christ are called to give from cheerful hearts. Whereas God will reward our faithfulness in giving, we should also recognise the many ways God has blessed us with blessings that money cannot buy rather than take offence when God does not come through for us as we anticipate.
