Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gems of Thought on Tithing: By Ministers and Laymen of All Denomination There is need that the wealth of the Church be laid at the feet of Christ. This not so much because of what it would accomplish in providing the means for all temporal demands of Christian and missionary effort, but that the possessors might become not only stewards but partners with Him in the great mission of the Church: the evangelization of the world. We need not stop now to speculate as to why "the Holy Tithe," the only prescribed claim or method revealed by God for financing His Church, has come more or less into disuse through the centuries; but we may well reflect upon the conditions which call for a more thorough religious consecration of earthly possessions, and how such consecration may be brought about. Dr. Charles E. Locke accounts for the lack of devotion of money in our day when he says: "As a lamentable result of a failure to preach the Scriptural doctrine of the tithe, it has been computed that, while the Church owns one-fifth of the wealth of the United States, only one-sixteenth of one percent is given for evangelizing the heathen world. Under a mistaken idea that giving as God hath prospered was a loftier basis of supporting the kingdom than the Scriptural doctrine of the tenth, the Christian Church is giving immeasurably less than the ancient Jews; and every interest of Christs kingdom is embarrassed for want of funds." In his excellent book entitled, "Our Christian Stewardship," the Rev. Dr. John Wesley Duncan says upon this same subject: "There are thousands of devoted Christian people who will be honest with God and their fellow-men when once convinced as to the teaching of the Bible on this vital subject. To all such we now appeal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
