The Purpose of Tithing (Deuteronomy 14:23)

The Purpose of Tithing (Deuteronomy 14:23): The purpose of tithing is not to make you poor. It is to teach the fear of God to his people. It is for the insider's benefits. Don't we want to be blessed?

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be?
