You have sown much, but have brought in little; … eaten, but not satisfied; … clothed, but not warmed and he who earned wages earned them for a bag with holes in it!’” (Haggai 1: 2b 5-6). True then, true today! Our wages, particularly our tithes, when
used for ourselves rather than the Lord’s designs, we never benefit.
By keeping it from the Lord, for our own purposes, like those of
old, the tithe goes in pockets (bags) with holes in it… A bill here,
traffic ticket there, water pipe bursts, need new carpeting,
unexpected doctor’s visit, etc. When we keep the Lord’s tithe, even
part of it, we never benefit from it! It is his, for his designs,
for his church’s mission, for his poor. ParishSoft Tip Before you send any envelope files to your provider, run audit.
