Tithing

Just a quick post to note how much of a reaction I have had about the subject of tithing. There have been several comments about tithing on the posts below. It is interesting to see there is so much difference of opinion.

If it all the same to those commentators who are opposed to tithing I am still going to go for it!

I would also like to point out that I fully agree with all those who say we should not give just 10% but extravagantly. For me this is a lifestyle choice of honouring God with our finances and depending on Him for His provision. I already have testimonies about the financial blessings God can bring but this is not what I am seeking. I want to know the giver not just get the gift. I want to build a history with God, a history of dependence and provision, a history of testimonies and miracles, a history of knowing God as provider, Lord and friend. I am not satisfied right now with the level of dependence I have on Him, or how well I know Him, or my experience of Him. I am desperate for more of God! It is in this spirit and with a hungry heart that I am putting lifestyle changes in place for me and my family, not because I have to to earn that which I seek, but because I want to, because I believe God deserves it (at the very least!) and that I believe God will enjoy it! (I know already how much he enjoys me right now too!)

As I am getting better now at regular posting I hope that I can blog the story of this particular aspect of my journey with God! Please keep reading!
