		<description>[...] or after taxes&#8221;. It&#8217;s a good question. Even though there are many other difficult questions in regards to tithing, many people have been confused for some time about whether they should tithe on the gross or net. [...]</description>

		<description>the people choose to be like the rest of the nations and have a king, did this country not learn from the other nations about choosing kings, and not letting the lord be their king, it is time the church wake up of the sleep, a soldier that called does not entangle his self in the affairs of this world, voting is of the worlds system, we only pray for them, not vote, the word said to cast down their imaginations, also we are given a two edge sword to bind up kings, when will the church use it if it is the true chruch, all israel is no israel,</description>

		<description>We do not live under the law, but under Grace.  We are not in bondage we are free to give as God puts on our hearts. Since the beginning of the 20th century tithing has been enforced.............churches practice nepotism, to pay/hire friends/family.  The church is not a organzation but a organism.  We are suppose to be the salt of the earth, not doing fundraisers, filling the pastors pockets with fine homes, cars and lots of gourment foods.  But to help the needy and the oppressed to fight for unjustice in the world, to be Christlike,,not money changers!!!</description>

		<description>Congratulations Jared!!
You really hit the tithing nail on the head! Spirit Led giving is where the blessing is and is a fruit of a Spirit-Filled Believer. This really dove-tails with the importance of not only believing but Receiving the baptism of God&#039;s Holy Spirit! I&#039;m sorry if I&#039;m sounding too religious, but I believe the Lord has been really showing me how important it is to be filled and surrendered so we can be in fellowship with Him fulfilling our very purpose for being alive! Here&#039;s the link to a video my wife and produced on tithing the we encourage you to watch:

Thanks and God Bless,
