The Power of Christian Support

We all know that as Christians we are supposed to tithe. You’ve probably heard the argument that you can tithe money, time, or resources. Well I want to elaborate on the influence a Christian dollar makes.

As a Christian, it makes sense for you to use your money in the Christian community whenever you can. Most people don’t think about how their money is used after it leaves their hands. Here is a short example of what happens when your money is spent with a Christian business owner.

You pay the merchant for the products you received. The merchant then takes tithe out. The merchant also reorders the merchandise you just bought. Let’s say that the product was a Christian t-shirt.

The merchant reorders from the supplier, which most likely is a Christian company. Now that company takes tithe out and reorders the raw materials needed to make its product. Chances are it uses a Christian supplier as well. Now you have at least three Christian companies all giving tithe to help spread the Word of Jesus.

Let’s look a little deeper though. These companies have employees that are Christian and give tithe from their paychecks. They also use the remainder of their checks to buy Christian whenever possible. This effect is now rippling all through the Christian community.

What you thought was an insignificant purchase may have helped feed a family or provided a Bible to a lost soul. By making a conscious effort, you can help magnify the Glory of God. Not only did you buy a Christian t-shirt that point blank says, “Look at Jesus”, but you have spent your money where it can ripple throughout the world spreading the Gospel.

Next time you make a purchase, I urge you to step back and think about where your money is going. Is it going to help spread the name of our Savior or is it going to help fund a terrorist camp in some third world country or is it going to be donated to a gay rights group for an easy tax write-off? The choice is yours.
