As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been perplexed and there is an anxiety going on about what it is I should be doing. My spirit has been restless. In my head, I was again, trying to negotiate my tithe with God. Saturday we went to church and the new series “Live the Life of Giving”. It is a 6 week series, which we will miss the next 2 while we are in Nebraska. However, the first one, was about tithe. Before the final prayer, we were asked to reflect on why we were there. I started grinning, because I knew why … it was Him once again, telling me to listen to Him and it will be fine.
One of the ministries I’ve been involved with had ended as of February. As I’ve mentioned in the last post, I have all these ideas about reaching out to those in need, but I don’t have the experience, skill, money, etc. I received an email yesterday from our outreach pastor wanting to set up a time to meet about the next step and outreach. I didn’t read his email until today. Again, He is letting me know that I need to trust Him and through Him I can do these thing.
It is interesting how He works through others. We just have to be open to who He sends into our lives. He is so true, so faithful and so loving.
For those of you that feel confused, don’t know where you are supposed to go or looking at the fork in the road, all I can say is ask Him to show the way. Have the courage to listen to what He says to your heart. Listen to what people say to you. Who knows, one of those people could have your answer.

Hello, Just commenting on the tithe issue. The religous organizations teach that a tithe is required from the Body of Christ. This is a great error. The religous empires try to chain the Body of Christ to an expired covenant God had with Israel. That covenant being the Mosaic Law.
The tithe required was food items. Money was not required or even accepted as a tithe.
Teaching the tithe today is done out of ignorance or intentional deception.
An excellent book on this subject is “The lie of the Tithe” by Rick Johnston.
God bless.

Greg: Thanks for your input, even though I disagree.
I guess the only way we will know is to ask Him when we get there. I have so many questions for Him that I hope I remember them all when I get there.
In His grip,
D
