Family & finances

Show your children the importance of paying tithing. Paying tithing when you're young teaches:

• Financial planning
• Selflessness
• Impulse control
• Commitment
• Family unity in sacrifice
• Putting God first.

It is such a blessing to teach children the importance of tithing at a young age, they can carry this knowledge with them for the rest of their lives for further blessings. Tithing can almost be considered "spiritual insurance."

Malachi 3:8-11

 8 ¶^aWill a man ^brob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In ^ctithes and offerings.

 9 Ye are ^acursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

 10 Bring ye all the ^atithes into the storehouse, that there may be^bmeat in mine house, and ^cprove me now herewith, saith the Lordof hosts, if I will not ^dopen you the ^ewindows of heaven, and pour you out a ^fblessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

 11 And I will ^arebuke the ^bdevourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

 The Lord is ultimately teaching us how to be more like Him. He has given ultimately given us everything. Paying tithing isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but that is all He asks. Can't we do that for Him?
