Biblical Inspiration Why do we act
like Christianity
is an exclusive club?
We charge tithes
like membership fees,
but don’t we realize
the price was already paid?
His blood was what it cost
for the most imperfect of us
to find forgiveness.
He didn’t call us
to be selective with
who we accept in.
After all, He received
all kinds
from prostitutes
to lepers
to the worst kind~
hypocrites.
Shouldn’t we
follow His example?
Isn’t that the purpose
of being a Christian?
We’re not meant to
show how worthy we are
that we got in,
but to show that
despite how flawed we are,
He accepted us
and He would accept
anyone who believes.
Response to above comment:
I agree that tithing is important. I just don't agree with "passing the plate" which just makes people feel guilty into giving. As the Bible says, "God loves a cheerful giver." :)
Although I agree with what you say here, my understanding is tithing's purpose is to support the church and also help those in need though don't quote me on that it's only heresay I heard..
