Ken Hemphill believes tithing is biblical
Ken Hemphill responds to CBS Sunday Morning's recent headline story on tithing. (See CBS Sunday Morning weighs in on Tithing.) He takes issue with the historical and theological presentation of the principles behind tithing as they were represented in the news story.
What I most appreciate about Ken is that he brought the focus back to where it should be.
But "tithing" is not the entire story. The Bible teaches that the stewardship of all of one's life -- time, talents and treasurers.
We tend to take tithing and make it the "big" issue. The reality is that God is interested in all of our lives. And stewardship is lens through which we see everything as God's--that includes our time, talent and money.
(If you're intersested in more about what Ken has to say on this issue of stewardship, read Ken Hemphill talks about making change and Ken Hemphill on pastors, preaching and money.)
