There is a question in the minds of many with regards to persons who spread the word of God setting a price to do the same. The Apostle Paul said in first Corinthians chapter 9 verses 16-19, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; Yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.” Preachers, teachers and all others responsible for the spreading of the word of God are compensated through the paying of tithes and free will offering. There is no need for congregational members to go on the streets begging with sponsor sheets for the Church building fund and other church needs if the members are paying their tithes on time.
Man has invented many ways to improve one’s personal economic empowerment. There are various institutions to teach one the different concepts of investing for the future and becoming financially stable. There are books to teach one how to get rich quick, all in hopes for a better more comfortable life. Persons are investing in stocks, bonds, ‘asue’ and other mutual funds to attain financial and material gain. I pray that having been educated on the ‘paying of tithes’ one can invest in a spiritual blessing from God, through the paying of tithes and not depend on the blessings that man has to offer. God bless you all.

Writer Profile
Roderick R. Mckenzie Sr.
I am a writer in Nassau, Bahamas and I feel that my work is good enough to go to the world market. To the world, my writing may seem to be secular and opinionated but, all of my work is divinely inspired by God with Biblical references to prove it. My goal is to teach as many people about Christianity as possible. As a freelance writer I would also like some exposure to the writing market and a possible job as a Christian writer on the Internet.

Why do we still have to tithe and how much do we have to?
Wasn't the levitical law done away when Jesus came?
So how do we know how much to give now?
