The Four Types of Christian Giving

Tweet

A good way to remember 'the four types of Christian Giving' is [b]The Parable of the Sower[/B] (I'm not saying "this is what that parable means," because it's not about 'money' AT ALL; it's just 'a good way to remember the prosperous way of giving,' because even Jesus mentions a 30- or 60- or 100 times' return-on-investment!) First, the Tithe; given for obedience's sake (I'd think of it as 'the ante,' the bit you put in the pot to play the next hand ) Then, the FirstFruits: given out of generosity (I haven't heard the sermon on this, so I guess it's mostly 'doing your job for free sometimes'). Then, the Alms given out of compassion & sympathy (you see someone needs something that you have, and you give it to them ... JD says the ROI on that is 1:1, which is why I guess he doesn't count that as part of the tithe either). Then the Seed, which is given by faith in the 40- or 60- or hundred-fold reward. JD says that this giving starts at the eleventh-percent after the tithe (as alms are given by 'the right hand which doesn't let the left hand know what it's doing,' and 'first-fruits' aren't counted either (because I guess you give them before you have a chance to count them)). https://www.bing.com/search?PC=U569&q=don%27t+let+your+left+hand+know+kjv&FORM=ANAB01&DAF0=1&fbg=0 (And JD is ... somebody, not that it matters who we're talking about---Jesse Duplantis)
