Three kinds of giving scripture describes, and how to give today.
Scripture names three kinds of giving that the covenant household practiced. Each has its own purpose. Together they are how the family of the Father supports the work and takes care of one another.
The tenth: the portion Torah set apart for the work and the worker (Numbers 18; Deuteronomy 14). Abraham tithed before Levi was born, and Yahusha (Jesus) said the tithe of mint and cumin should not have been left undone (Matthew 23:23). The tithe keeps the lamp lit.
The Torah word is tzedakah: righteousness, justice, care for the poor. Leaving the corners of the field (Leviticus 19:9). The third-year tithe for the stranger and the widow (Deuteronomy 14:28–29). An open hand to a brother in need (Deuteronomy 15:7–11). Alms is the family taking care of the family.
The freewill gift, whatever your heart prompts beyond the tithe and alms. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for Yahuah (God) loveth a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Partner With the Work
If this work has fed you, through a book, a teaching, or the Study Bible, you can help it reach the next person.
Giving is handled securely by tithe.ly. Choose a fund at the prompt: Tithe, Alms, Free Tree Care Mission, Church Plant (land and building), Truck and Equipment Repairs, or General Fund. Remnant of Promise is a 501(c)(3), so gifts are tax-deductible.
