Lately, many people complained about their poor financial condition that "prevents the tithe, make you feel guilty." In a using television program, in tears, a visitor asked me if I had to keep adding to your credit card debt to give your church. It's a question I hear often: "Should I tithe on my credit card when I am carrying a balance"

We will consider two questions implicit in this question. First, if the tenth (the tithe is a tenth)? No, there is no Biblical basis for tithing today. You will not find in the New Testament practice and teaches tithing after the resurrection of Jesus is not there. However, this is not a "get out of jail" card. God owns everything, we are your delegates, and must spend all funds under his direction - to be considered for 100% of their funds.

Tithing under the Law of Moses was temporary to get to the heart of tithing is to understand why God in Israel. God has not given the Levites in certain geographical areas the promised land, but of the affected villages pasture allowances and other tribes "(Numbers 35:2-3). To provide for the Levites, the poor widows, and orphans, and to teach Israel celebrate in communion with Him and worship, God has three tithes in the Law of Moses, the Levitical tithe (Numbers 18:21-32), the Lively tithe (Deuteronomy 14:23-2), and the tithe of the poor (Deuteronomy 14:28-29).

Substitution Jesus temporal priesthood of Jesus death and resurrection has fulfilled the law of tithing, canceling the need for animal sacrifices, the Levitical priesthood, to remove individual sins. Jesus has replaced the temporary office of Aaron the priest, with a permanent priesthood (Hebrews 7:24). Jesus is the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:4-6). Today, we do not need intermediaries to be in communion with God, every believer is a priest (1 Peter 2:5-9).

Therefore, if the tithe does not stop us giving? God owns everything (Psalm 24:1-2) - He's already 100% and we have nothing. Our goal is to ask how he is going to give her 100%. God has called us to give all areas of our lives to Him, including 100% of its funds, to your address. So should not live in isolation with circumstances dictate our behavior: between work, church, home, finance life.

God owns all our problems heart is a central concern. Should we accept the sovereignty of God over all the goods we use? Are we willing to hold free and accessible to all to Him? Ask for the grace of giving in the Covenant, New conservation, and to accept God's property of all - God is to maintain - And should be your butler. Believers have nothing, so can not give something to God, but their hearts. The first reference Christian giving, after Pentecost, with the new church is not organized as required believers to share what they had directly with each other (Acts 2:44-45). No tithes. Soon after, believers have brought gifts to share with the apostles (Acts 4:35, 37; 5:2). No tithes. Later this practice has changed and individuals began to discharge their individual responsibilities to God. They began practicing with the gift of the interview. We maintain lifestyle Writing in these four passages:

1. The altruistic donor - 2 Corinthians 8:2-7
2. A cheerful giver - 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
3. The regular donor - 1 Corinthians 16:2
4. This which gives the exchange and hospitable - Romans 12:13

Do not Give during handling

If God condemns about your financial situation, we confess, repent, and He will guide you through your current challenge. He wants you can count on him. He loves you and me how He died for us. Is not that amazing! Today, many ministries and churches against unscrupulous to get money from you with promises of healing and wealth. You are encouraged to give credit, and promises to bless you with something in return - which means that God bless you unless you give them. However, there are many legitimate ministries. They are God's call and not try to fly. They need our prayers and financial support. Pray, asking God to lead you to the fear of God these ministries, churches and other groups, and away from health and wealth, the name-that-he said, speaking of the ease of television evangelist and others with a similar motivation.

Do you give your credit card

For the second question, must give the credit card? Ask the Lord to guide all expenses, including giving, remember that you have nothing! Understand that the administration of credit cards paid money from his kingdom and credit card debt while leading to more debt. In fact, if you can not pay the balance on your credit card should not have one, do not use.

Do not succumb to pressure, coercion, manipulation, by the church or ministry. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:7: Each man [person] should give what he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a giver joy.
