Frequently Asked Questions

Does God promise to make generous people wealthy?

God promises to bless and provide for the generous (Luke 6:38), but blessings come in many forms — spiritual peace, relational richness, provision for needs, and eternal reward. The goal of generosity isn't to get more but to reflect God's character.

What does the Bible say about tithing?

Malachi 3:10 is the only place God invites us to 'test' Him — through tithing. While New Testament giving emphasizes cheerful, voluntary generosity (2 Corinthians 9:7), the principle of honoring God with the firstfruits of our increase remains a foundation of biblical stewardship.
