Living @ 90%

I preached at Lifeline this week about tithing. I hate preaching about money. Money and the church have become this taboo thing and most preachers my age really hate to touch the topic because we feel like that's all people think about when they hear church; money.

A couple months ago I was at a meeting and talking with a fellow church planter and I asked him how he approached the tithing and giving topic with his young congregation. He said I just laid it all out for them and hide nothing. He went on to say that tithing and supporting the work of God is just as big of a lifestyle issue as anything else we talk about week and if we don;t talk about it then we as the pastor are in the wrong.

I realized the truth behind what my friend was saying and decided to do it. Truth is I talk every week about living a life more like how God wants us to live and being His example. Giving 10% is another thing He asked us to do so I really needed to talk about it.

I think it went well. Check it out if you want, here is the Audio File Link.
