Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Quotes edit
-
“God doesn't need you to give--you need to be blessed.”
-
“One of the biggest rewards of obeying God and getting out of debt is the freedom to do the right thing when God speaks to you about it. If God really has done a work in our hearts, why would we be trying to figure out how to diminish the amount of our tithe?”
-
“The only people who get offended when you preach on giving are the ones who don't give--those who are in the grasp of the spirit of mammon. The people who have a revelation of giving will not get offended when you preach on it, and those in bondage to mammon can never taste freedom unless they hear the truth.”
-
“God is not responsible for bills he does not initiate.”
-
“Wherever you find generosity, you will find selfishness battling for control.”
-
“God is never going to give you responsibility in the kingdom of God or even the house of God if you can't even handle your checkbook.”
-
“Giving is important because it does a supernatural work in our hearts, and that's what God is after--our hearts. God is not after our money. He doesn't need it. But our treasure is tied to our hearts. Thus, God goes through our treasure to get to our hearts.”

Would you rather try to make it through life with 100 percent of your income-but all of it cursed? Or would you rather try to make it through life with 90 percent of your income and all of it blessed, redeemed and protected by God?

It always requires faith to give the first. That's why so few Christians experience the blessings of tithing. It means giving to God before you see if you're going to have enough. By tithing, it is as if we are saying to God, 'I recognize You first. I am putting You first in my life, and I trust You to take care of the rest of the things in my life.'

The tithe, the firstborn and the firstfruits all belong to the Lord. This isn't a law! It's an unchanging principle established by an unchanging God.

When He redeemed us by His sacrifice, He bought us back for God. He was literally a firstfruits offering. In a very real sense, Jesus was God's tithe.

Tithing isn't really giving-it's returning. It is bringing back to the Lord what is already His. Thus, the second principle of multiplication is that finances over and above the tithe must be shared if they are to multiply.

Jesus talked about money in 16 of His 38 parables. Clearly, from the Bible's standpoint, we need to understand money and how to handle it. Why? Because money is actually a test from God.
Highlighted by 26 Kindle customers -
The first belongs to God. We find this principle all through God's Word. We can give God the first of our time. We can give Him the first of our finances. That's what tithing really is-giving our first to God. It's saying, 'God, I'm going to give to You first and trust You to redeem the rest.'
