Generally speaking, Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, but not the Son of God. They do not believe He died and arose from the dead, or that His blood was shed for the forgiveness of sin as stated in Romans 10:9: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in […]Read More

Brother Kenneth and Gloria’s personal conviction is to tithe on the gross of all income–including gifts–that comes into their hands (Proverbs 3:9-10, Malachi 3:8-11). Ultimately, everyone needs to spend time with God and receive His direction where tithing and giving is concerned. Tithing on gifts may require direction from God. Some gifts, such as money, […]Read More
