This is the commitment we are calling our team to... based on Bible. It will build a strong foundation.
As a part of the Clarity launch team, I commit...
TO PRAY
Love God, love people, and reflect those priorities in prayer. (Matthew 22:36-40 / Jeremiah 33:3 / 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 / Matthew 7:7-8 / Philippians 4:6)
TO PARTICIPATE
Be active in the Clarity vision and consistently attend, serve at, and invite people to Clarity functions. (Matthew 28:18-19 / Acts 2:42 / Hebrews 10:25 / Matthew 20:26 / Philippians 2:1-3 / Galatians 6:2)
TO GIVE
Love God, love people, and reflect those priorities in your giving. Specifically, tithe, and obey God regarding what you will keep for yourself. (Matthew 22:36-40 / Malachi 3:10-12 / Proverbs 3:9-10 / Matthew 6:21 / Luke 6:38 / 2 Corinthians 9:6-7)
TO STRETCH
Be flexible in strategy, un-offendable in relationships, willing to learn, willing to grow, and a servant of the greater good. (Mark 6:2-4 / Proverbs 18:12 / Philippians 2:1-3 / Matthew 18:1-4 / Matthew 20:26 / James 4:6)
DEFINITION: True biblical holy tithes were always only food from the holy farms and herds of Israelites who lived inside God’s holy land, the national boundary of Israel.
ReplyDeleteIn God’s Word tithe does not stand alone. Although money existed before tithing, the source of God's holy tithe over 1500 years was never money. It was the holy tithe of food and the increase was gathered from what God miraculously produced from His holy land and not from man's craft or ability. No tithes could come from Gentiles or unclean pagan lands.
There are 16 verses from 11 chapters and 8 books from Leviticus 27 to Luke 11 which describe the contents of the holy tithe. And those contents never included money, silver, gold or anything other than food from inside Israel! Yet the incorrect definition of tithe is the greatest error being preached about tithing today! Lev 27:30, 32; Num 18:27-28; Deu 12:17; 14:22-23; 26:12; 2 Chron 31:5-6; Neh 10:37; 13:5; Mal 3:10-11; Matt 23:23; Luke 11:42.
