In this week’s message, “The Other Dollars,” David Stockton covered the concept of
giving. If you look at the Scriptures, you will see that the tithe pre-dates the law. Like
Sabbath, tithing is written into the Fabric of Creation. In this sermon, David mentioned 3
different types of giving:
The Faithful Tithe - motivated by obedient worship not begrudging duty,
Generous Gifts - motivated by genuine compassion not manipulated concern.
Sacrificial Offering - motivated by radical love for God not the praise of people.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a
tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the
more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You
should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.”
Matthew 23:23 (NIV)
