"There shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies... And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you…" 2 Peter 2:1-3
The goal of this book is to return to the Bible and rediscover the timeless principles of giving and prosperity. By focusing on what Scripture teaches, rather than interpretations driven by greed, readers can gain a deeper understanding of God's Word and its application to their lives.
In the face of widespread financial abuses and dishonesty in the church, this book embarks on a biblical exploration of tithes, offerings, and almsgiving. By tracing the historical context and biblical teachings on these subjects, the author seeks to determine their necessity and legitimacy in the modern church.
This book warns against the misuse of Scripture for personal gain and encourages readers to test every doctrine against the Bible. It urges saints to rightly divide the Word of truth, avoiding the pitfalls of false teachings and the exploitation of unsuspecting church members.
Join the journey through the pages of this book and discover the true meaning of giving, rooted in biblical teachings and a heart of love for God and others.
