NEXT STEPS: GiveParaugs

WHY? [Illustrations included in this devotional are not visible in this view. Illustrations are only supported in the Bible App for iOS, Android, and at Bible.com] We touched on this in Day 3, but one reason to tithe is that if we all tithed together, there would be MORE than enough resources to accomplish what God has called us to. We'll read a verse here in a minute that shows the priests (pastors) of that time actually getting questioned because the tithes were so large - what a concept! Imagine how many hungry people we could feed and how many lost people could meet Jesus if we all did our part and stayed faithful? A study was done a few years back that stated that we could end world hunger in a matter of months if the entirety of the church tithed. Think about that! This is how it was supposed to work, and instead of churches closing down every year, we were meant to expand and reach every corner of the earth. That is what would happen if the church would rise up and be obedient in what God has called us to. Why do we tithe? Because what we are capable of as a church would be limitless!
