The Delusion of Tithing
Average time to read3:57 minutes aprox.
One story that keeps coming to mind is the widow of Zarephath and her ability to give out her last meal to a man she hardly knew. This particular story was strongly impressed on my mind during a financially tight month in my life – no profit (infact it was a loss) for that month so I deluded myself into believing that it automatically equaled no tithe. Oh was I shocked during one of my family routine prayers that I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to give far more than I had been giving on a monthly basis (don't mind me; the salary habit is still in me). On a serious note, this was a struggle for me; «how can I tithe on a loss and to make it worse (or should I say better), I was expected to give five times my average?»
