Pastor Linda's anecdote before the offering was collected:

"The dying thief never joined a church, still he was saved. He never gave for the offering, still he was saved. But the difference is that he was a dying thief; we are living ones!"

And she shared from Malachi:

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.

"But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'

"In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse--the whole nation of you--because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."

--Malachi 3:8-10 (NIV)

God has indeed been faithful over the last six years when tithing became a matter of significance for me.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

--Hebrews 12:1-3 (NIV)

Let us throw off everything that hinders.

Let us throw off the sin that so easily entangles.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.
