Every worship day, either it's Sunday or Saturday, member of the church (whatever church they belong) drop their tithes and offerings on their respective baskets (but honestly not everybody is giving). This act of giving to the church, where this came from? From men or from God? Well, as I always say, let the Bible speak. Open the Book of Malachi 3:8-10, it says, don't rub God but He said, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. So, we've proven that this is from God. Do you know that even Abraham and Jacob gave their tithes to God (Gen 14:19-20, Gen 28:20-22)? How about in new testament? What can we read? During the time of Jesus Christ on earth the Pharisees ask about paying taxes, read what Lord Jesus said to them on Luke 20:22-25; "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." So, if it's our obligation to give tax to the government, then we shouldn't forget our tithes to God.
You might ask what is the purpose of tithes and offerings, this will I answer on my next blog. Just always remember, Giving is an issue of the heart. You can give without love, but you cannot love without giving.

Before this year end i just want to refresh our mind from the past christmas. Maybe some of us didn't notice this street jingle but i know you'll laugh after reading this.
Ang Pasko ay Sumapit
Ang pasko ay lumapit (sumapit)
Tayo ay mangagsi-awit
Ng magagandang tahimik (himig)
Dahil sa ang diyos ay pag-ibig
Nang si kristo ay isilang
May tatlong haring nagsidalaw
At ang bawat isa
Ay nagsipaghandog ng tanging araw (alay)

who is god the father,son, and holy spirit?..
is it true that Jesus Christ as praise as a son of God is His real son?...
Does we human's are God's son and desciples if base on the bible, we are just His CREATION?...
It is also written on the very first page how God created our Home(Earth) in seven days.But what i'm thinking about is how about our Soul.. is it included that soul arose when life was form on the fifth day of creation?...
we are not responsible for giving thithes coz it is commanded to the israelites for the sons of levi
"Num 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation." And we do not live mosaic despensation anymore! we live now in the christian despensation.
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
