Cartoon Reflection: Tithing
Published by Matt Glover January 23rd, 2006 in Cartoons & Cartoonists, Emerging Missional ChurchThere’s been a bit of discussion about tithing (ie donating money to a church as part of faith/discipleship) around the emerging church blogoshere of late. But regardless of what your theological viewpoint is, if you have teenage kids that are Christian, you’ll get asked this. Believe me!
the “Argh mum I’m going to sunday school and I’ve forgotten my collection!”
I remember a friend of mine had two coins to put in- so she let me put one in. It was all about looks. sad I guess.
Well, if your tithe comes from “Mom’s” wallet then it is often lacking meaning and purpose. But when it comes off the top of money you yourself have worked for and is done out of obedience and gratefulness to God, not only is it rewarding but God is faithful in His promises to bless you in return.
