    Hello Bible Friends:

    I have a question. If a family member is struggling financially, may I share my tithes with them? Thanks!

    I have to be honest ,i dont give money to beggars if i suspect it will be spent on drugs ,this is because i worry that the moneyi give them may buy the drugs that kill them ,i have helped people find accomodation and bought food ,clothes etc but you get to know your local beggars and you dont need to be a genius to know the signs of drug abuse ,im happy to help but not to maybe help kill some one .

    Of course ! Dont hesitate to help another person , Matthew 25 v 31to 46 ,may God bless you abundantly so that you can show others His love by helping them when you are able to do so .

    God honors a cheerful giver. Tithing isn't really spoken of in the New Testaments. In the Old Testaments God asked His people to tithe a tenth which was an act of obedience, which went to help the poorer peoples of The LORD. So with that in mind, I would ask Father to bless the money n the one in need n I'm sure He will honor your request n bless you in return.

    Marilyn,

    Tithes were an ordinance for people of Israel. As a Christian, all you have is God's and how you "give/share" is what is from your heart.

    "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
