Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe
Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe
# 39: I call the evangelical tithe – the surrender of 10% of one’s income to the local church – the AWFUL evangelical tithe. Why? Because it is responsible for millions (billions?) of people anguishing in hell AT THIS VERY MOMENT. This is not immature or sinister hyperbole. Please consider….
Do you think when Lord Jesus commissioned His church to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” He would not supply His saints with the necessary resources to obey His command? Does that sound like Jesus to you?
There has always been a flow of money from Jesus to His church to accomplish His decree. But that flow got redirected. Redirected? Yes, religionists, especially evangelical religionists, diverted money – money intended to reach billions of perishing people with His gospel of salvation – to finance cumbersome, wasteful, non-biblical evangelicalism.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, please hear me: The secular world, throughout its sordid history, has never had an atrocity that matches this atrocity.
