    About this ebook

    Just imagine that you walked into your church premises one day and as rightly expected every member of your congregation that you met is able to provide you with almost the same correct answer to your questions, what is the aim, what is the goal, what is the purpose, and what is the objective of the practice of Christian tithing? How would you feel about that? I believe you will feel good. I believe you will also feel much assured that the members of your Local Church have the knowledge and a good understanding of what the practice of Christian tithing is all about; and that you really dont have to do much urging to get them to tithe. I believe it will also be assuring to you that all things being equal, with their convictions about what the practice of Christian tithing is all about in the Local Church they will remain faithful in their tithing. That should sound great to you, knowing that you are achieving the spiritual and financial vitality of your Local Church.

    The Christian Tithing Defined: Making Tithing Easier in your Local Church is a resource for achieving these just mentioned results in your Local Church. The study of Gods work in Abraham (the father of the Christian faith) to tithe to Melchizedek (the proto-type of Christs High Priestly Ministry) unveils clear definitions concerning the aim, goal, purpose, and the objective of Christian tithing. It also gives out explicit definitions concerning the principle, sacred nature, and fundamental benefits of Christian tithing to give us the overall definition of what Christian tithing is.

    The understanding of the definitional terms of Christian tithing forms in the hearts and minds of pari-shioners the inner persuasion or the conviction to tithe without much external coercion.

      And to the memory of my beloved brother in the Lord

      A man after God’s own heart

      PLEASE NOTE

      For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Never again will everyone teach his neighbor or his brother by saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because all of them will know me, from the least important to the most important—Hebrews 8:10-11.

      When the meaning of the practice of tithing is clear in its minute terms, it makes it easier for parishioners to tithe. Reasonably, it is easier to be about something, when you know what it is about. The definition of Christian tithing supplies that attitude to parishioners by helping their understanding with the aim, goal, purpose, and the objective of its practice in the Local Church.

      When the understanding of Christian tithing is clearly settled in their hearts and minds, parishioners really don’t need much motivation from their pastors and church leaders to tithe. The understanding of the definitional terms of Christian tithing forms in them the inner persuasion or the conviction to tithe without much external coercion.

      OUR FOCUS

      Just imagine that you walked into your church premises one day and as rightly expected every member of your congregation that you met is able to provide you with almost the same correct answer to your questions, what is the aim, what is the goal, what is the purpose, and what is the objective of the practice of Christian tithing?
