Mary's Parents? |

Hi, Carol...
Welcome to the forum!
The Scripture does not tell us who Mary's parents were. There are some non-Biblical sources that name Joachim and Anne... but I would take that with a large grain of salt.

First allow me to say that I am a very young Associate Pastor. I'm fully confident that there are men on these forums are much wiser than I. I really just had one thought that came to my mind.
Ultimately the question isn't how close to the line we can get, or what is the least that we can do. I would figure that if one would see giving as an act of worship, or if one had a desire for God, there wouldn't be a question "Does certain types of income qualify" for giving. If we have a giving heart, it won't matter the source of the income, it will just matter that we have something to give. |

Dear jh67c,
Welcome to the forum!
This question has been much discussed over the years. You can search the archives to find just about any view.
Scripture does not speak to this question. Certainly, though, there will be animals in the new earth of Revelation 22.

Dear sls48,
How about praying the prayers of Scripture? Or praying the Psalms?
This might help:

Dear sls48,
Have you ever looked at every reference to pray/prayer/praying etc. in the Bible? You could start a notebook, writing your observations down from each passage. When you were done, you would have all that the Bible has to say on the subject.

This topic has been debated here at length, so I will give you what I was taught and what I ahve seen.
My father taught me to tithe on the money I earned, allowance, mowing grass, whatever it might be. At that young age, I did not like it nor did I think it was fair. Why did God need my money, He has everything?
At that younger age, I was not a joyful giver. My dad ended up being laid off from his job, but he never stopped tithing and not only that, to him it was not a burden, but he was a joyful giver.
Talking with him over the years, he has since explained how tight things actually were in our house during that period. Yet, we never went hungry and every time the checkbook hit zero, money came in to meet our needs. He eventually was recalled to work and has since retired and living well.
Through his example of putting God first, I have learned that what I am blessed with, money, family, friends, etc., are all God's. I have turned from that joyless giver and now gladly give back to the Lord, not because He needs it, but because I want Him to have it and use my blessing to bless others.
Through my trust in the Lord, He has always met my needs and He has exceedingly blessed me beyond what I deserve.

Is faith the key to praying? |

John 15:16 |

Dear sls48,
Prayer is personal communication with God. The key is not faith, belief, posture, etc. The key is Christ Himself. From the Scriptures we see that prayer is most effective that arises from personal interaction with God (John 15:7). That can only arise from a regenerate life (1 Corinthians 2:14); i.e., a life changed by the gospel and being changed by the gospel, together with others so changed.
Here is a two part systematic study of prayer by the theologian Dr. Wayne Grudem (MP3):

Greetings again, jacobp,
Read the context of these verses, even the whole chapter. Abraham's faith saved him, as did others who believed.

God's day to you, jacobp, and welcome to the SBF,
Romans 1:18-20 says that all are without excuse, because of what God has done, as does Psalm 91:1-6.
I am not sure God handles this situation, as well as babies and those who cannot understand.
Romans 10:9-17 comes to mind ... especailly verses 15 to 13. Yes in reverse order. We need to share with others and pray for those that do (Luke 10:2).
I ask since you have heard, have you believed?

do u tithe on unemployment checks |
Answer |
1 Tim 1:8 |

To all of our tithing viewers.
If you have decided to tithe, you tithe 10 percent of your increase.
This 10 percent is based upon your gross increase not your net, in other words "every" cent you acquire.
As far as tithing on Unemployment check where is your faith?
Is it fair that the Gov. take out it's tax, then Social Security takes out for you, then you tithe on what is left? God is the one that gave all of it to you in the first place.
Then at the end of the year don't take it off on your taxes, that would be the same as not tithing at all.
This whole tithing experience is meant to be a faith walk, if you are continually trying to decide whether you should tithe this or that, then stop tithing, because your motive is wrong. You are either tithing out of obligation according to law, or it is for the gain that is promised. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
A very simple way to look at tithing is, we all spend money on a lot of things we can't even account for at the end of the month, that is not good stewardship. But in your tithing, you should forget about it, not expecting reward for your faithfulness, or worrying whether or not you will have enough money for the rest of the month.
Whenever the decision has been made to tithe, from that point on the actual workings of it should not be questioned, let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Like I said tithing is a faith walk, those that will trust God in their belief will be able to tithe, those that believe it is not for today, or feel tithing is legalistic won't.
Grace be unto you
