Tithes
Have We Robbed God?
"Will a man rob God ? Yet you have robbed Me ! But you say: 'In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings. You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me." (Malachi 3:8 - 9)
With love in Christ,

Acts 20:7-12
Ministering at Troas
7 Now on the first day
of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul,
ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message
until midnight. 8 There were many lamps in the upper room where they were gathered together. 9 And
in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking
into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued
speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, “Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him.” 11 Now when he had come up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till daybreak, he departed. 12 And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.
John 14:10-21
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
The Answered Prayer
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the
Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees
Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be
in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He
who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he
who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and
manifest Myself to him.”
