giving - The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

“I’m a pastor and have never taught tithing!”

What is the purpose of the Mark 7 discussion on dogs eating crumbs from the table? What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? I’ve been a pastor for many years and have never taught tithing. Grace giving works!

“Why don’t we always feel God?”

Can I give publicly or should I only give in secret? What is the context of the Sermon on the Mount? Why don’t we always feel God‘s presence? Do we go to be with God immediately when we die?

What is the “harvest of righteousness”?

What are your thoughts on preterism? Does God guarantee increase in our income if we give to the gospel? What is “the power working within us” in Ephesians 3? Should we just go out and sin so that grace shines more brightly?

“Should you really ‘give in secret’ as Jesus said?”

I know that our spirit goes to Heaven, but what happens to our soul? Should we really try to “give in secret” as Jesus said in Matthew 6? My Bible study leader says we need to the Holy Spirit to help us keep the Law. What can I do to help him understand the truth?

I have been tithing faithfully, and now I’m three months behind on my mortgage. What should I do? My mother hurt me deeply many times while I was growing up, and she continues to hurt me today. I wonder how I can love her and still have a relationship with her. I’m already seeing a […]

When it comes to tithing, what about Cain and Abel? And what about Melchizedek? And what about Ananias and Sapphira? Does God show extra favor to those who give sacrificially? Why does Paul describe himself as using craftiness or trickery in 2 Corinthians 12? What are your thoughts on “hypergrace”? Does your theology address how […]

Do you think Judas was saved? Was he promised a seat in Heaven? What are your thoughts on today’s styles of worship and teaching in churches? Do we need to tithe on our gross or our net income?

What does it mean to receive the Holy Spirit when you believe? Can my husband and I take a break from tithing? So many preachers are saying it’s “God’s will” to heal everyone, so why aren’t we all healed? Can we lose our salvation?

I’ve been told I’m robbing God if I don’t tithe 10%. Am I a thief? If we are totally forgiven of all our sins no matter what, then why did Jesus say if we don’t forgive others then God won’t forgive us?https://afmmedia.org/app_media/dailyradio/2023/AndrewFarley-230330.mp3

I grew up believing that I could fall away and lose my salvation. Is that true? What about getting closer to God? What about spending more time with God? I am concerned that some of my giving doesn’t count as a tithe or an offering. What are the Biblical guidelines for giving?

01.12.2023 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why do we continue to hear messages from Malachi 3 about robbing God if we’re in the new covenant? Can a person who’s truly been saved lose their salvation? Who was Rahab and what is the significance of knowing her story?

10.20.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What is the difference between deception from Satan and a delusion from God? My church states that tithing was part of the “natural law”? Did tithing really occur before the law? Should New Testament giving be more than ten percent?

08.17.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is Eastern meditation okay for Christians? Are there levels in Heaven? Should we give according to the Old Testament tithe or is the New Testament way different? Don’t we need to acknowledge our sins?

08.11.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

What role does the conscience play for the believer? The unbeliever? How can we look at behavior passages in a healthy way, without turning them into legalism? Do I need to tithe to my church? Or can I give to a nonprofit instead?

07.07.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why does Galatians 5:4 say people can be “severed from Christ”? Do we need to tithe 10%? What does grace-based giving really look like? Was it wrong for Jesus to heal on the Sabbath? How can I better navigate helping people who have to make tough decisions about keeping a family member on life-support?
