Don't Give 10%, Give 100%

"

Should Christians give 10% of their income to God? 15%? You can almost picture Jesus saying, "you have heard it said, give a tithe of your money to God. But I tell you, give all of it." Our mentality should be to give God 100% of everything we have, from our money, time, hobbies, work, and everything in between. But how do we get to a place where we can and want to to do this? Our generosity and sacrifice is a Gospel issue; we give in accordance with how much we realize we have been given to. ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
