It stands to reason that the means to support the priesthood must be holy as well. God has provided for this, by declaring our tithe holy. This system has existed since before Moses. Just as the Sabbath, the time God has declared holy, has been a means for God to connect with His people as their Creator, the tithe requirement allows us even further connection with Him as our Provider.

But how can each of us participate in this gospel commission? Are we all able to preach and teach? Paul had a lot to say about the different spiritual gifts and talents that people receive.

Nelson Impact Study Guide: Romans

We, as individuals, are not gifted in everything, but are to contribute as we are able, and build the church with our combined efforts. We are to provide for this cause through our tithes and offerings.

The tithe being set aside specifically for the financial support of those workers who are called to preach and teach. The tithing system, as set up in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, has attempted to accomplish this goal in the most equitable manner possible. Of course, we see flaws in its implementation from time to time, as in any human organization, but when we pray for God to oversee the use of these funds, we have to trust that its overall purpose will be achieved and that God will be glorified through the end result of our efforts.

How does returning our tithe help us fulfill this gospel commission?

Was it just a requirement for the Jewish nation? Why is it important for the support of the church to be a group effort? Why are clergy and members alike both invited to unite, both spiritually and financially, in accomplishing the mission of the church? We are amazed and refreshed just to think about it. No wonder Malachi describes it as the windows of heaven being opened.

These blessings coe in many forms, determined by God, who is totally trustworthy in distributing the blessings, as well as distributing the tithe funds to places they are most needed. To limit the blessings to material things which those promoting a prosperity gospel mentality are apt to do may cause us more harm than good. Was it just its material wealth that impressed them? In what way does our tithe become a double blessings? How is God blessed in this process?

How does giving become more of a blessing than receiving? Since the tithe has been declared holy, its use must be sacredly guarded. This was most dramatically demonstrated by the sanctuary system developed at Mt. Since the Levites were the tribe chosen by God to care for the tabernacle and conduct its services, they were the ones to whom God directed tithes to be used for. The people were to supplement and add to the tithe requirement as they were able, in order to provide for those additional needs.

Something holy used for something else holy is the principle God uses in this process. God understands that the salvation He has provided is most effectively promoted through human beings, who have been consecrated and dedicated solely for the purpose of spreading the gospel. As the Levites were not to perform other work besides that pertaining to the tabernacle, our ministers today deserve to be supported by our tithes.

We must reserve the tithe for this purpose. Read 1 Timothy 5: How are they instead to be provided for? Read 1 Corinthians 9: How are gospel workers able to live off the gospel?

What does this mean? Why is it particularly important how tithe monies are spent? The Bible tells of a place where the wind comes from Jeremiah Seventh-day Adventists are among the few denominations who attempt to model this pattern, given by God to benefit the Levites. Our church, when it was being organized in the s, decided to create conferences and divisions, based on the geographic location of the members.

Other denominations have done this to a certain extant. But these SDA conferences would also become the central storehouses, where tithe monies would be stored and distributed to the ministers, based solely on living expenses, not on the size of their congregation.

Why is it important that God chooses the place to bring our tithe?
