He is no fool
Who gives What he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose

Eternity is worth the choice
Choose the narrow path that leads to life eternal

Great message. I remember when I first got saved, what my pastor whos long since been dead, told me; pay your tithes. Don't rob God. I can say honestly, that God has always taken care of me! Always.

[relaxyourmind]

Wonderful walk on the verge on the seam of his waters, whilst the sands have left that impression of his truth on your breath good fisher of man. Thank you.

[allendean]

Absolutely fantastic sermon may we all take heed .

[dg_f_Christs]

I love hearing the big picture no matter how hard the truth. I don't honour God for who & what He is, and I am ungrateful in most of everything. Amen.

[Myown]

God should triple my income. I should become all that I am perfect for, which would make me great. Amen.

[AndieZU]

We must not take advantage of our blessings. And I do believe in tithing. That of which I MUST focus on.

[Daniel-SlaveofJesusChrist]

This message is tight slap on the Prosperity Gospel.

[bloodmooncomix]

REFORMED TRINITOLOGY:
I'm going to chime in right here and say that the lack of tithing among today's believers has less to do with breaking the 10th commandment and more to do with ignorant stewardship practices and chronic consumerism!
🙏😓

[remyfanggidae]

Many modern preachers do not preach this kind of message anymore

[samsdad]

There is a sense in which it is more difficult to live the Christian life now than it’s ever been because of our relative wealth because, like RC states, we all live better than the vast majority of our ancestors throughout the history of the world, and that means even people who live on public assistance with two, large-screen TVs, a car, cell phones and who knows what else.
