Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 13: The church signboard read, “We can do more together”. Together, together, together – that’s evangelicalism’s mantra. No individualism…. only church-sanctioned activity encouraged (allowed?)…. no   One-to-one guidance of the Holy Spirit. The problem with “We can do more together” is that it…. simply…. is        not…. true!

All teams need a captain…. and that captain must be salaried…. and that salary must be sufficient to house, clothe and transport him and his family…. and to cover   all family expenditures. The team’s main burden is financing the captain’s sizable salary. To maintain the team’s loyalty, the captain is obliged to furnish the team with a (mostly vacant) building.

That sign should have read, “We can waste more together”!

One Spirit-led, Christ-centered, faithful disciple of our Lord Jesus can do more than an entire assembly. The lives of Paul, Peter, Steven, Philip, John and others verify this. God’s divine order is not Jesus…. Holy Spirit…. us (the team). God’s order is Jesus…. Holy Spirit…. christian. (Jesus…. Holy Spirit…. you.)                                       

The very Son of God will guide you, via the Holy Spirit, throughout the remainder of your christianity if, and only if, you surrender to His lordship.
