The Tithe vs. Sowing And Reaping
​
​
Directly at the center of the Christian way is God's desire to have full relationship with His children.
And with this, He desires His children to be loved, blessed, and whole.
​
The best relationships are built upon success enriched by God's favor.
God's plan to unleash all of this is fully accomplished by our love engagement with others and our exercise of sowing and reaping.
​
God loves this.
​
Whatever we sow, we reap.
We have the choice to sow and reap whatever we want.
​
Everything we love most, we can sow, and everything we sow, we can reap, a perfect formula.
​
We thrive in thought, mind, and pocketbook by sowing and reaping.
​
God made sowing and reaping an unseparated and essential pair.
​
We cannot teach without learning.
​
We cannot give without receiving.
​
We cannot reap without sowing.
​
We cannot grow in wealth without contributing.
​
We cannot add value without receiving more value.
​
Sowing and reaping is God's perfectly divine success formula.
​
This is the one and only perfect formula from Him for achieving everything we value most.
All needs are supplied richly.
It starts with a lifestyle of sowing with love.
​
The Old Testament tithe is a mis-step with bad timing and erroneous teaching.
Unfortunately, it's commonly taught in Christian circles.
​
It has bad timing because Old Testament logic was meant for Old Testament believers.
​
Fulfillment of Old Testament law was required of Old Testament believers.
​
This was before the victories won by Jesus Christ in the gospel period.
​
He became the fulfillment of law by delivering wholeness by grace.
​
What he won changes everything in how we think, believe, and achieve in New Testament times.
​
This includes every victory won for us by him.
​
The practice of sowing and reaping has little to do with a financial formula of giving one-tenth.
​
Sowing and reaping engages much more thought, ingenuity, and love.
​
Sowing and reaping answers the question, what is most valuable to sow so everyone wins.
​
Sowing and reaping encourages full engagement better than contributing an overly simplistic financial practice of one-tenth.​​​​​​​​
​
In conclusion, sowing and reaping is a value proposition where both sides win and win big.
