Deuteronomy 26 Does your church always talk about money?



  Whenever a preacher talks about the Tithe (giving 10% to the church), even just in passing, some only hear those words and turn off their listening in angry rebellion. More people leave the church over this subject than almost anything else I have ever heard as a complaint. Our church mentions money one or maybe two times a year, and still, I have heard complaints that all they ever talk about is money. I think God talks about it more than maybe any other topic in the Bible. I think He does this because where our treasure is, that is also where our heart is. Meaning that lots of us have money as our idol or lower case “g” god.

  So I can almost hear the comments starting now: “All Austin ever writes about is money!” Well, because you cannot even give to this blog/ministry, maybe you need to ask yourself if you are listening to satan’s lies or actually listening to what you are reading/listening to? I don’t want your money, and in all reality, I don’t think God does either! I think He wants evidence from you that He is on the thrown of your heart! He wants you to stop worshiping your money, status, or some other idol (to be transparent, that would be cars for me) and worship Him through laying down your little “g” gods and starting a saving relationship with Him!

  If you have questions about any of this, please send us a PM/DM, and we would love to discuss it with you! Click the link below to listen to what God told Moses to write about these things called the Tithe or First Fruits!

  Talk with you soon!

Revelation 3 Don't be luke warm!

         Good morning, it is the day so many long for, Saturday at last! For any of you in Israel and other parts of the world, Happy Sabbath to all of you. Although some will think it is untrue, my Sabbath is Sunday, I base this on Mark 2:27, but as my Sundays are filling with church work, I may start Saturday Sabbaths soon! If you are new here, welcome to The Daily Bible Challenge, where we are reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover. We aren’t doing this for foolish bragging rights but to learn more about God directly from God, instead of just gossip about God from others! Who knows if those have even read the Bible!     Today we are in the book of Revelation chapter 3. It has a lot to digest, but also has so many new questions for us to research. I will not be your teacher, God and your own heart will do that! I am more here to challenge, entice, and even beg you to read and dig in for yourself. After all, I believe ...

Judges 7 God dealing with the pride of man, through Gideon

Image
 Good morning, we have made it to Wednesday, and all is good! What an incredible God story we have in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we read/listen to Judges 7. I can only imagine what Gideon must have been feeling as God took away twenty-two thousand of his soldiers. God did this as Gideon was preparing for a battle in which he was already outnumbered by tens of thousands! But Gideon remained faithful, and then God took it from ten thousand to just three hundred! Would you have argued with God, or maybe even just fled for your life?  Are you wondering why God would have done this? In my youth, I wondered about it too! Through this life, I have struggled foolishly with pride for many years, but God has a way of humbling us! Many years ago, God humbled us in ways that shook our lives to the very core! Then, much later in life, God used a great program called Re/Generation to show me how I still struggled with pride and just how many of my sin patterns were originating out of ...

1st Kings 4 Promises kept, although slower that planned!

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well. We are doing well here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. With two hounds at my feet and a tiny cat in my lap, I write to all of you with great joy in my heart! It has been such a blessing to see this blog grow so much this past year, not for my gain but for God’s glory. Please humor me as I catch up on some details for long-time readers on our project list here on the homestead.   The pressure washing will start here on the house today, and the paint should start Monday if the weather holds up for us. Some of the siding got dirty as this project started over two years ago. (even under a real tarp, dirt crept in). A brother from church has asked to do the work, and he is very experienced with painting with the high-pressure spray type rig I am providing. I have to get another five-gallon pail of paint, a case of caulk, and the trim paint this weekend, and lots of protective covering material for the deck and sto...
