TITHE AND THRIVE

How supporting us, can also help YOU!
 
"Tithing is strictly defined as the giving of the first one-tenth of one's income to the source of one's spiritual growth and inspiration. One can tithe to an individual, such as a minister, or to an organization, such as a church. Giving charitable gifts to the unfortunate is a wonderful thing but it is not tithing. Giving occasional gifts to your church or to people who have helped you spiritually is also a wonderful thing but it is not tithing. Tithing is the regular, continuous, giving of the first tenth of all of your income to the source of your spiritual awareness and inspiration. It is important to set aside the first tenth because this impresses upon your consciousness the importance of the tithe as well as the fact that spiritual consciousness is the source of all wealth. This means that each and every time you receive income, the first check you write will be for your tithe.

One of the best writers I have encountered on the subject of tithing is Catherine Ponder, a Unity Minister. It was her books that convinced me to begin using these techniques. Ms. Ponder emphasizes that when tithing is done as a duty it is much less likely to produce abundance because one's subconscious (ku) will view the experience as negative. Tithing is best done from love, gratitude, and respect. Therefore it is important to tithe to the true source of your spiritual inspiration. If you tithe to your church because you think you are supposed to, your tithing will be much less effective for you than if you tithe elsewhere because you want to. It is perfectly acceptable to divide one's tithe. Although I now tithe exclusively to Aloha International (because A.I. is the current source of my ongoing spiritual development), there was a time when I divided my tithe and my tithing was just as effective. Another very valuable lesson I learned from Ms. Ponder is that during times when the bills outweigh the resources, the natural tendency is to think that you simply can't afford to tithe. However, since tithing generates prosperity, these times are exactly when you can't afford NOT to tithe!" (source of article click here)

 Question:   Is tithing really important, and if so,

what does tithing do for me?       ~D. S., Raleigh

Rev. Jack Graf: 
Thank you for your question. Many Unity ministers (myself included) hesitate to talk about tithing on Sunday morning because most congregants, having come from traditional churches where they were scolded for not tithing, don't want to hear about it. Yet, as Unity ministers, we probably are remiss in not sharing the subject becuase it is really the key to building a prosperity consciousness.

Giving freely a tenth of one's income to the church or organization where one is receiving spiritaul nourishment impresses on that person's mind his or her ability to give. By tithing, our mind says, in effect, "I can afford to give." That is all the mind needs to know to build a high prosperity consciousness. If we tell our minds, "I can't afford to tithe," then we are building a lack consciousness.

For years I didn't tithe because I thought the church was just trying to make money. That resentment, itself, kept me in lack consciousness, and I was barely able to make ends meet. In 1974, when I discovered Unity's understanding of spiritual principles, I learned that tithing wasn't for the church's properity -- it was for my own! That put a whole new spin on it for me, and since then, Marsha and I have tithed on our gross income. Even when we had financial setbacks and found ourselves in debt, we continued to tithe. As a result, we didn't stay in debt very long.

Eric Butterworth, in his book Spiritual Economics, says that tithing is "training wheels" to teach us how to give. We all like to receive, but the universal principle is that we have to give in order to receive. Whatever we want to receive, we must first cheerfully give. If we want love, we must cheerfully give our love. If we want time, we must cheerfully give our time. If we want support, we cheerfully give support. If we want money, we cheerfully give our money. That is the simple Truth.

To answer your question "Is tithing really important," Charles Fillmore, Catherine Ponder, Eric Butterworth, Edwene Gaines, and to all those who practice tithing, it is important in building one's prosperity consciousness. What will tithing do for you? It will help open up any clogged channels of fear, and in time, allow a free flow of good to come pouring through. If you are interested in more information, check the bookstore for Catherine Ponder's Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, Charles Fillmore's Prosperity, Eric Butterworth's Spiritual Economics, or Joseph Murphy'sYour Infinite Power To Be Rich.
