Can God Be Bought? (#545)

from The God Journey - 2016

<p>Some congregations are now offering money-back guarantee with a three-month commitment to give 1/10 of their income. If you don't see his blessings at the end you get your money back. Gimmick or lesson in generosity? That news story launches Brad and Wayne into a conversation about tithing, giving, and generosity under the new covenant. Is tithing still God's requirement? The way some people talk of tithing it's like protection money to the mafia don. Give him his cut and he'll make sure the enemy leave you alone. Others see it as an investment. If they give God 10%, he'll give them way more as a reward. How do these views of the tithe affect how we see our Father at work in us? </p><p><strong>Podcast Notes:</strong><br> Christianity Today Article: <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2016/june-web-only/faithful-tithing-now-comes-with-money-back-guarantee.html">When Tithing Comes With a Money-Back Guarantee</a><br> <a href="http://itcisrael.wix.com/thegodjourneyisrael">Information on the GJ Trip to Israel</a><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line&nbsp;via&nbsp;Skype at "TheGodJourney"</p>
