Friday: Further Thought ~ The Tithing Contract

By

Further Thought:

 Read Ellen G. White’s most comprehensive tithe document in volume 9 of Testimonies for the Church, Pages 245-252. Study Section III of Counsels on Stewardship, Pages 65-107.

“If all the tithes of our people flowed into the treasury of the Lord as they should, such blessings would be received that gifts and offerings for sacred purposes would be multiplied tenfold, and thus the channel between God and man would be kept open.” — Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, p. 474. This is an amazing statement. If we were all faithful tithers, God would bless us with funds to increase our offerings 1,000 percent.

“In the third chapter of Malachi is found the contract God has made with man. Here the Lord specifies the part He will act in bestowing His great gifts on those who will make a faithful return to Him in tithes and offerings.” — Ellen G. White, Review and Herald, December 17, 1901.

“All should remember that God’s claims upon us underlie every other claim. He gives to us bountifully, and the contract which He has made with man is that a tenth of his possessions shall be returned to God. The Lord graciously entrusts to His stewards His treasures, but of the tenth He says: This is Mine. Just in proportion as God has given His property to man, so man is to return to God a faithful tithe of all his substance. This distinct arrangement was made by Jesus Christ Himself.” — Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 384.

Discussion Questions:
  1. Dwell more on this idea that the practice of tithing did not originate in ancient Israel. How does this fact help us understand the perpetuity of this obligation on our part before God?
  2. In class, discuss the question posed at the end of Monday’s study. Think what would happen if people decided to send their tithe somewhere else. What would happen to our church? Would we still even have a church? What’s wrong with the attitude that says, Well, my tithe is so small in contrast to everything else, it doesn’t matter? What if everyone thought like that?
  3. Share with others what you have learned and experienced from giving tithe. What can you teach others about the practice?

✅: Donate at https://awr.org/give One thing we especially enjoy during our staff meetings at Adventist World Radio is recounting the stories we receive on a daily basis from around the world. There is rejoicing and praise—and sometimes tears—as we share what God is doing and the lives that are being changed through the ministry of AWR. Below is another video compilation with just a few of these stories. They include: 00:00 Reyna Meet Reyna. Enticed and allured by city life, she leaves her village home with a backpack. A businessman observed that she was overwhelmed and vulnerable. He promised her everything she wanted to hear, but Reyna's perfect dream quickly turned into a terrifying nightmare. Isolated in a room, he paid her with a radio instead of money for food. This turned out to be her saving grace. She found comfort in AWR's message of a Savior who accepts all who come to Him. She planned her escape and was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church as her refuge, God's timing is perfect. Watch the rest of Reyna’s story https://youtu.be/7QEg_XeTapY 00:44 Ruben Meet Ruben. Hit by a bus, his life was turned upside down. While hospitalized for months, he lost everything, including hope. Filled with despair, he returned home in a wheelchair. The depths of depression took him to the kitchen knife drawer. He drew the knife and was about to take his life when the radio suddenly changed stations, peace overcame him as he heard the first test broadcast of the new AWR station. This began Ruben's journey to being baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. God's timing is perfect. Watch the rest of Ruben’s story https://youtu.be/QM-oTtrZLPY 01:23 Tricia Mae Meet Tricia Mae. At a young age, her parents traded her for drug money to an old man. She learned to fear him. As Tricia grew older, his control of her dominated all her emotions. She was always in a constant state of dread, for even the littlest mistakes resulted in pain. Tricia became intrigued by the neighbor's radio. The sound of peaceful music filled her with hope. Our AWR broadcaster received her call pleading for help. Immediately, she was rescued from her captor. Now a baptized member, she shines for God, bringing others out of darkness. God's timing is perfect. – From broadcast to baptism, this is AWR360°. Watch the rest of Tricia Mae’s story https://youtu.be/gzhUrSaE7sk These stories and many more are the reason we exist as a ministry—to share the gospel of the kingdom with every nation, kindred, tongue and people.

3: The Tithing Contract – Singing with Inspiration

By

“MANAGING FOR THE MASTER Till He Comes” will show us that 
God Is Working His Purpose Out – Hymn 225 in all our we do and say. May we be encouraged by this hymn for this quarter and that 
In Our Work And In Our Play – Hymn 591 we will work until Jesus comes. Hence, a choice of theme hymns for this quarter.

Hymn 538 – The Wise May Bring Their Learning is seen throughout this weeks’ lesson study. Our Memory Text adds 
Hymn 195 – There Shall Be Showers Of Blessings and 
Hymn 643 – Father, Who On Us Do Shower. These hymns encompass our entire study this week.

Today, and every day, we look forward to Jesus coming again. Oh, what a day that will be 
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633 because 
That Glorious Day Is Coming – Hymn 209.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

 

Amen!(0)
