Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [18] 10/10/2025 (Morning thought)

Proverbs 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake you not my law. 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

[Test. Vol 9, pp 249] The tithe is sacred, reserved by God for Himself. It is to be brought into His treasury to be used to sustain the gospel laborers in their work. But will you rob God because you think the management of the work is not right? Make your complaint, plainly and openly, in the right spirit, to the proper ones. Send in your petitions for things to be adjusted and set in order; but do not withdraw from the work of God, and prove unfaithful, because others are not doing right.

Jesus is more than willing to forgive wherever there have been genuine mistakes and errors, and even if one had knowingly departed from His revealed will, He will forgive if we confess. It is not for us to judge the motives, and intents of the heart, all we are doing is establishing the Biblical fact that God still has a specific storehouse upon the earth.

And if any person so desires to follow the Scriptural instructions on returning your tithes and offerings to His house, the truth is there before you, so that you can make your move intelligently. In closing, we hope and pray that The Bible brought clarity to the matter, so that from here on out, we may know what to do. We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that will help us to see the light clearly so that faith and practice may converge.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Where to Return Your Tithes and Offerings. Part [17] 10/10/2025 (Evening thought)

2nd Chronicles 31:11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them, 12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 525] In the Hebrew economy one tenth of the income of the people was set apart to support the public worship of God. Thus Moses declared to Israel: “All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.” “And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, ... the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:30, 32.

But the tithing system did not originate with the Hebrews. From the earliest times the Lord claimed a tithe as His, and this claim was recognized and honored. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek, the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:20. Jacob, when at Bethel, an exile and a wanderer, promised the Lord, “Of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee.” Genesis 28:22.

As the Israelites were about to be established as a nation, the law of tithing was reaffirmed as one of the divinely ordained statutes upon obedience to which their prosperity depended. The system of tithes and offerings was intended to impress the minds of men with a great truth—that God is the source of every blessing to His creatures, and that to Him man’s gratitude is due for the good gifts of His providence.

Nehemiah 10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
