		<description><![CDATA[Many Christian churches preach tithing as a means of supporting the work of the Lord today. There are many variations of this theme. Some pay the local church one tenth of their income after taxes and bills are paid; some pay before. Others demand tithing on unemployment, inheritance, gifts, tax refunds, social security and even gambling winnings. The tithing issue has caused a great deal of strife and division in our churches over the years.]]></description>

If the preacher never knows, if the church mother never calls you, realize this, God is totally aware of how you feel, and the reason He hasn’t broke through the clouds to see about you is…”You are strong enough to make it!”]]></description>

When I would hear believers ask the question &#8220;How can I live Holy&#8221; I listen so that I can get more information from them.

		<description><![CDATA[No Tithing for Christians. At no time were first-century Christians commanded to pay tithes. The primary purpose of the tithing arrangement under the Law had been to support Israel's temple and priesthood; consequently the obligation to pay tithes would cease when that Mosaic Law covenant came to an end as fulfilled, through Christ's death on the torture stake. (Eph 2:15; Col 2:13,14) It is true that Levitical priests continued serving at the temple in Jerusalem until it was destroyed in 70C.E., but Christians from and after 33C.E. became part of a new spiritual priesthood that was not supported by tithes.]]></description>
