Gospel Sounders Rekindling Reformation Ministry

WHY BRING TITHES AND OFFERINGS TO THE STOREHOUSE?

• This tithing system, I saw, would develop character, and manifest the true state of the heart  {1T 237.1}
• Those who would gain the blessing of sanctification must first learn the meaning of self-sacrifice. …It is the fragrance of our love for our fellow men that reveals our love for God. {AA 560.2}
• These arrangements did not, however, wholly do away with poverty. It was not God’s purpose that poverty should wholly cease. It is one of His means for the development of character. “The poor,” He says, “shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.” Deuteronomy 15:11.  {MH 186.2}
• The completeness of Christian character is attained when the impulse to help and bless others springs constantly from within–when the sunshine of heaven fills the heart and is revealed in the countenance.  {COL 384.2}
