Download or read book Beyond Tithing written by Stuart Murray and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tithing is biblical but not Christian." So asserts Dr. Stuart Murray in this radical examination of the contemporary practice of tithing in which the author comes to some surprising conclusions. Stuart Murray clearly explains tithing in the Old Testament and in Christian history, but then probes further, asking penetrating questions such as: "Is tithing Christian?" "Did Jesus tithe?" "Does tithing function as a regressive tax, burdening the poor while the rich get richer?" "Does tithing lead to a legalistic approach that alienates us from Jesus?" The author suspects that a lot of the current lack of interest in the church stems from deep-seated memories of the church as oppressive, uncreative, and money-grabbing. In response we should therefore learn not to calculate percentages but explore creative ways of developing communities of justice and generosity that are good news to the poor. Beyond Tithing will stimulate your thinking and challenge the dominant influence of the practice of tithing as the model for Christian stewardship.

Get your copy today and arm yourself with these biblical truths. Most tithing Christians are sincere in their efforts to support the church through monetary tithing. However, hidden in the shadows of this traditional practice, many Christians have lost sight of their calling to love one another. They present various arguments to defend today's version of tithing which are many, very diverse, and sometimes contradictory. Nevertheless, we have known for years that these practices distort true Christian giving, which is centered on meeting the needs of the poor, as well as those that teach and preach the Word. 2nd Edition enhancements include: Opening and Closing Arguments - A fictional court case New chapter titled, "Dispensations of Mankind" New section titled, "Test Me in This" added to "Tithing Defined" New subsection titled, "Do Tithers Receive a Spiritual Blessing?" added to "Tithing Defined" New chapter titled, "Freedom From The Curse" New subsection titled, "I Pledge to Give" added to "The Church Collection" Added a Word Index All NIV passages have been updated from 1984 to 2011 And more ... Unlike other books, Beyond Tithes & Offerings is the complete reference manual on traditional tithing and corrects years of careless biblical misinterpretation of this practice. This is not the book you sell when you are finished. Instead, refer to it every time you come face-to-face with monetary tithing practices. Thank you for your interest and support. We look forward to seeing your Amazon.com review comments.

Book Synopsis Tithing After the Cross by : David a. Croteau
Download or read book Tithing After the Cross written by David a. Croteau and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some in the church find it very difficult to talk about money, but it's a subject that cannot be avoided. The church needs money to continue to function. Missionaries need money to carry the gospel. As a result, however reluctant we are to talk about it, we have to do so. And when we do so, we often generate more confusion and resentment than cash. Some churches require that members be tithers before they can take positions of leadership. This in turn can result in a sort of spying by one believer on another. How much do we each earn? Is our giving equal to 10% of our income? On the other hand there are those who discount tithing, and consider themselves tithers because they give two or three percent of their income. They may say that they "tithe" 3% of their income. But what exactly does the Bible teach about tithing and how does that apply to us today? Is there a way for us to become grace-filled givers? Can stewardship, giving, and financing the work of building the kingdom become a joy rather than a duty or a source of dissension? David Croteau has written at length on this topic before. In this volume of the Areopagus Critical Christian Issues series, he undertakes a brief examination of tithing, stewardship, and giving. He starts by asking just what the Israelites were called on to give by the scriptures. He then follows through the various arguments in favor of tithing as a law applicable to Christians and shows how these arguments fail. Finally, he discusses a basis for gracious, joyful giving as God directs each of us. In just 96 pages (including all the front matter) you'll find your understanding of Christian stewardship changed. You won't find here a license for apathy or selfishness. Instead, you'll find a challenge to discover and do God's will in your finances as in every other area of your life.

Respected Christian financial expert Larry Burkett uses God's Word to show the strong biblical basis for giving to and serving in the church. Using benevolence ministries as an example, Burkett explains how God uses Christians to minister in His name. This is accomplished by giving back to God a portion of what He has graciously given.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Tithe by : Valerie R. Jackson
Download or read book Beyond the Tithe written by Valerie R. Jackson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Struggle With Tithe-Guilt? Do you tithe faithfully... yet never see a change in your circumstances? Do you desire to tithe... but you're barely covering your bills and household expenses already? Perhaps you don't tithe... and you wonder if God is angry with you. Or maybe you've been told you should tithe... but frankly you just don't want to! Bible instructor and blogger Valerie R Jackson has experienced firsthand the exasperation of navigating conflicting teachings on giving. She has had times in her life when she tithed faithfully, times when any sort of giving was a struggle, and times when she didn't tithe at all. Yet she was never quite sure if she was in God's will. You're not alone. Starting with a non-judgmental look at why believers make the giving choices they do, this book goes beyond the usual scriptural "proofs" that argue why we should or should not tithe. Are the current doctrines of tithing valid? Does Jesus taking about tithing at all? Were the first Christians tithers? This book is for everyday Christians who just want the freedom to give in peace. You are invited to give up the guilt and move forward to a place of generosity and grace by going Beyond the Tithe.
Book Synopsis The Trojan Horse of Tithing by : Jonathan Paul Brenneman
Download or read book The Trojan Horse of Tithing written by Jonathan Paul Brenneman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trojan Horse Of Tithing is a plea to Christian leaders, written from a Charismatic/Pentecostal perspective. Jonathan Brenneman exposes the inherent problems with common tithe teachings, highlighting serious issues with even so-called "grace tithing." He demonstrates how deception starts subtly and documents the growing acceptance in mainstream Christianity of even overt teachings of salvation by tithing. Millions of people today now believe they will never even enter heaven without their tithes. No matter how much we try to dress tithe teachings up as grace, they continue to be the root of serious problems.The arguments contained here against the modern tithe tradition are thorough, compelling, and overwhelming. The gospel is worth giving not only our money, but even our lives to promote. However, modern tithe traditions have no place in this because they are not based on truth and misrepresent the way God relates to people. Rather than helping to advance, the gospel, they distort it. God is calling his church to get rid of the leaven and return to a powerful and pure gospel message!The Trojan Horse of Tithing is one of the most comprehensive overviews of multiple arguments against tithing. Few books make such a compelling case as to why tithing is incompatible with the gospel, or deal so thoroughly with less logical but emotionally powerful objections such as "but tithing works!" We include: -What could have possibly convinced strong proponents of tithing such as Derek Prince to change their minds?-Documentation and evidence of the extent of literal "salvation by tithing" doctrine in today's churches, and demonstration that this is the logical implication of even many of the most common so-called "grace tithing" teachings.-Dozens of serious logical problems with all of the common pro-tithing arguments.-A historical study on Melchizedeck and the related terms "El Elyon," "Zedek," "Salem," "Heaven," and "Earth."-11 commandments of God that churches regularly break for their tithe tradition.-9 serious problems with using Malachi as support for Christian tithing.-The history of tithing.-Contrast between the Babylonian tithe and the Jewish tithe. Which is our modern tithe tradition based on?-How the modern tithe tradition violates the statutes and the basic principles of the Jewish tithe.-What tithing and witchcraft have in common.-How tithing undermines Spirit-led giving.-How people are stepping into supernatural giving and supernatural provision without the tithe.-The historical and cultural context of ministerial support in scripture.-Why some of the world's most successful church planters see tithing as a hindrance to church multiplication.-How tithe teachings promote a poverty spirit.-A prophetic dream for the church.
Book Synopsis More Than a Healer by : Costi W. Hinn
Download or read book More Than a Healer written by Costi W. Hinn and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does healing fit into God's will, especially when God doesn't heal? Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. We all experience brokenness, and we rightfully look to Jesus for restoration. But many Christians have been taught the lie that God will heal us if our faith is strong enough, and that he is punishing us when bad things happen. Growing up in one of the world's leading faith-healing dynasties, Costi Hinn witnessed the tragedy of people chasing after healing more than the Healer. In this book he provides biblical clarity to some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith. Does grace guarantee healing? How do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us and not for who he really is? Beginning with the vivid memory of the night he discovered his son's cancer diagnosis—Costi unpacks the layered feelings and questions we have about God and his healing power, and he provides practical principles for growing closer to Jesus. With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, he explains how to: Faithfully pray for healing while trusting in God's sovereignty. Navigate tough conversations about the topics of divine healing, love, and justice. Hold on to faith even in the most painful trials. More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide you to discovering the Jesus we truly need—and the true power and hope that comes from a genuine relationship with him.

This book leaves no question or objection about tithing unanswered. It is a "must read" for any serious Bible student.
