Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe
# 7: Financing the evangelist is evangelizing. Financing the evangelist is responding to Christ’s (mostly ignored) Great Commission. Let’s consider that commission….
The Great Commission is your commission. Yes, it is his and hers and theirs, but it is also yours. If this mandate has not been directed by Lord Jesus to you, to whom did He direct it? Jesus (NLT): “You are all equal as brothers and sisters.” Equal sonship, equal privileges, equal responsibility.
Not all can go but all can finance, be it much or little. Simply redirect donations that are aimed at your local church toward evangelists. Again, financing the evangelist is evangelizing.
Hopefully you will ask Lord Jesus, “Lord, what evangelist(s) should I support?” Perhaps Jesus would respond, “You support the evangelist the Holy Spirit so directs.” Wait upon the Lord for His direction. Wait until you hear. Prov. 3:6: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
The secret to soul-winning is found in the words of Jesus, “the Lord of the harvest”: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” One cannot follow two. Stop following evangelicals and begin following Jesus Christ. You can bring Christ’s salvation to many. You can, you can, you really, really can.
