Practicing the heavenly tradition of tithing

The Lisbon Resolution

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 6:24

The ultimate purpose of the universe, with human beings at its centre, is to return joy to God. All entities have dual purposes… In God's ideal, there cannot be any individual purpose which does not support the whole purpose, nor can there be any whole purpose that does not guarantee the interests of the individual.

EDP Ch 1 Section 3.1

By offering a tithe from your material possessions to God, you can

establish a condition equal to having offered all that you have. Even if you

do not offer everything to God, offering a portion of it with all of your heart and mind will enable the rest to be considered holy. The person who tithes will never perish. As days go by, his storage room will be filled with more material blessings.

Father Moon, 4th June 1970 (CSG Pg. 1029)

You should offer three tenths of your income: one-tenth for the nation, one-tenth for the world and one tenth for the church.

Father Moon, 15th April 1961 (CSG Pg. 1029)

In terms (tithing) in the church, ten families in the church should support a church leader. Otherwise, you do not have the right to become a

citizen of the heavenly kingdom. Ten people should support one heavenly person. Tithing applies to every aspect of life. Even in a school, one in ten classrooms should be used for less fortunate children, to give them classes free of charge. From now on, you need to tithe not only your materials but also your time.

Father Moon, 15th April 1961 (CSG PG. 1032)

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

God gives all to meSo I can give all to Him
