“If we ACTUALLY believed, what we SAY we believe in the Word...how would our lives change?”

It often surprises Christians when they discover just how much the Bible talks about money. In fact there are more than 2300 verses on money, wealth and possessions. Jesus spoke about money roughly 15% of his preaching and 11 out of 39 parables.

A 2007 Barna Research Group study revealed that only 5% of adults in America tithed.

Among those that do, evangelicals were among the most generous, but still only 25% of them (us!) tithed.

Pushpay (the app that we use to process online giving) reported in 2019 that tithers only make up 10-25% of any congregation.

So do we honestly see it as a privilege? Do we even know what that means?

The book of Malachi

“If you say God is your God, but you don’t tithe, is He really?”

Withholding from God puts barriers between you and Him.

He’s not putting them there…your mistrust is.

We withhold from God out of fear, and fear and faith don't mix.

You take care of the house of the Lord, and He will take care of you.

Free the Future is FV’s 2021 initiative to see the Kingdom of God give more, tell more, and serve more.
We cannot wait to see what God is going to do in the future when each of us, individually, is able to challenge ourselves to die to our own selfish nature, and truly be disciples of Jesus, today.
