90 Day Challenge

by Rob Appel
In the June Sabbath Recorder I wrote and article about tithing and what I called a 90 day challenge. In the SDB Forums there has been some talk about what this all means and where does the tithing start.

The simple fact is it it starts at home. It starts with you. It starts with being disiplined in your giving and training your children in the principles of being good stewards.

My desire in writing the article is two fold. One, it gets those that have not received the blessing from their tithe, to receive the benefits that they are given from God from being obedient. The catch, of course, is that you only tithe expecting to win the lottery or some distant relitives inheritance.

So Are You Up For a Challenge?

I challenge each of you who have not tithed to have an opportunity to take the NEXT STEP in tithing. If you will commit to tithe for only a three-month period, it will give you the opportunity to witness firsthand that gift of tithing. Yes, it is a gift. God gave to us and we are to pass on those gifts to others. You can hear all the tithing testimony until the “cows come home” but it will mean nothing to you unless you try tithing for yourself. It is something that you have to experience on your own. I would like to hear back from you about the changes in your finances and the gifts God blessed you with that you never experienced before. This is the “90 Day Tithe Program” that I wrote of earlier in this article. As this concept is applied, it can literally take the local church, our Conference and the world, and let them work in harmony together, as God has intended us to do.

The NEXT STEP is yours…are you up for the challenge and the blessings?
