One of the hardest things to witness as a pastor is to see people come into relationship with Christ then slip away without finishing the commitment. It’s fairly easy to commit to Christ; in fact, one can almost be talked into it. The hard part is in becoming mature Christians. [...]

The tithe is found in both the Old and New Testaments. We see Abraham paying Melchizedek the High Priest a tenth of what he took as spoils of war, along with the first communion.
