Just as God is provoked by those who tithe simply because they feel that they must tithe, I am provoked by those who commemorate simply because they feel that they must commemorate.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["bandwagon","commemorate","commemoration","culture","day","death","fabrication","falsehood","god","holiday","honest","individual","insensitivity","insincere","love","lovelessness","memorial","memorial-day","memories","memory","nationalism","patriot","patriotic","patriotism","pop","pop-culture","popular","popular-culture","pride","routine","selfishness","society","tithe","tragedy","universal","vanity"],"id":41297,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"The power of health and wealth lies in tithing.","author":"Lailah Gifty Akita","tags":["christianity","faith","health","life","life-and-living","religion","tithe","wealth"],"id":50660,"author_id":"Lailah+Gifty+Akita"},{"text":"To consume the best for yourself and give the crumbs to God is blasphemy. A heart that truly worships is a heart that gives its best to God in time and substance. A heart that truly worships God gives generously to the causes of God---causes that God cares deeply about. I have to wonder whether someday we may wake up to discover that all our incestous spending on ourselves and our frantic construction of excessively luxurious places of worship---even as we ignore, for the most part, the hurting and the deprived of the world---filled God's heart with pain.","author":"Ravi Zacharias","tags":["church","deprived","giving","hurting","poor","social-justice","tithe"],"id":62362,"author_id":"Ravi+Zacharias"},{"text":"You don’t need much to give.

Shetani ni mtu yoyote mwenye nia mbaya na wewe. Hivyo, kama uliwahi kuambiwa kwamba kupokea pesa kutoka kwa mtu usiyemjua ni kitu kibaya futa imani hiyo. Utaachaje kupokea pesa kutoka kwa mtu usiyemjua wakati kila siku unamwomba Mungu akusaidie, na Mungu hutenda kazi zake pale tunapojisahau? La sivyo hutapata pesa unayotamani kupata katika maisha yako, na kamwe hutawaamini watu. Zaka huondoa laana ya mapato. Toa zaka kununua pepo uliyopewa na Mungu.","author":"Enock Maregesi","tags":["curse-of-income","development","dunia","faith","globalization","god","imani","laana-ya-mapato","life","maendeleo","maisha","malice","mamilioni-ya-watu","millions-of-people","money","mtu-usiyemjua","mungu","nia-mbaya","paradise","pepo","pesa","satan","shetani","tithe","unanimous-person","utandawazi","world","zaka"],"id":121164,"author_id":"Enock+Maregesi"},{"text":"When you GIVE under “compulsion” or “Grudgingly” you are giving under the LAW of giving and NOT the GRACE given for giving.","author":"John Paul Warren","tags":["gospel","grace","john-paul-warren","pastor-john-paul-warren","tithe"],"id":132477,"author_id":"John+Paul+Warren"},{"text":"Blessed are you who sow.
