SHOULD I GIVE TO THE CHURCH??? I thought that what I did with my money  and my time was my own business. Then I readied a verse in the Bible and realized I had forgotten about God. "Remember the Lord your God. Remember that he is the One who gives you power to do those thing! Deuteronomy 8:18  I study some more and discovered that in the Old Testament, God used the 10% rule known as the tithe to fund the work of the church. It was a law and every believer was required to set aside 10% of all income for the work of the church. That 10% was so important to God that those who used it on themselves were actually stealing form God. "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's it is holy to the Lord" Leviticus 27:30 When I searched the New Testament about giving I discovered that the rule of law was replaced by a rule of gratitude. (thankful) "On the first day of every week each one of you should save as much money as you can from what you are blessed with." 1Corinthians 9:7
