Spaces: "How does the tithe work?"

Sep 11
1 min read

"So in the Old Testament, God sets up a system. The Levites — the priests, the worship team, the ones running the temple — they don't get land. No inheritance. So God says: the tithe belongs to them. Ten percent goes to Levi. That's their paycheck. That's how the house of God stays open.

But here's what people skip — read the rest of the verse. The tithe wasn't only for the Levites. It was also for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow. The stranger, the orphan, the widow — they eat and they're satisfied. So the tithe was never just 'pay the pastor.' It was: fund the worship, and feed the vulnerable. Both. Same system." (See Numbers 18, verse 21, Deuteronomy 14, verses 28 and 29)
