4 WOMEN S HISTORY MONTH MARCH 2018 National Women's History Month began as a single week and as a local event. In 1978, Sonoma County, California, sponsored a women s history week to promote the teaching of women's history. The week of March 8th was selected to include 'International Women's Day.' This day is rooted in such ideas and events as a woman's right to vote and a woman's right to work, women's strikes for bread, women's strikes for peace at the end of World War I, and the U.N. Charter declaration of gender equality at the end of World War II. This day is an occasion to review how far women have come in their struggle for equality, peace and development. In 1981, Congress passed a resolution making the week a national celebration, and in 1987 expanded it to the full month of March. In Canada, Women's History month is celebrated in October.

8 WHAT IS THE TITHE Tithe Lesson The way in which you handle your finances will mark your spiritual commitment to God! It has often been said that more could be learned about a person s commitment to Christ by looking at his checkbook rather than his prayer book. We are no farther along in our walk with God than the point to which we have learned to trust Him with our tithes. What is the tithe? And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord s: it is holy unto the Lord (Leviticus 27:30). 1. Tithe = mah-as-ayr = tenth; the tenth part 2. In Jewish history, the tithe was a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes. The dedication of a tenth to God was recognized as a duty before the time of Moses and the law. The tithe was payment of one tenth of all the increase of the Jews. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase, the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates (Deuteronomy 14:28): The tithe in today s economy is the giving of one tenth of all of the increase that comes into the life of a believer. This includes: 1. Income from all employment prior to deductions 2. Income from investments 3. Other forms of increase like inheritances, monetary gifts, settlements, etc. Leviticus 27:30 tells us the tithe is holy. The word holy means sacred, dedicated, or hallowed. The tithe is very special to God and should only be used for the purpose He designated for it. It is like the holy anointing oli in Exodus 30: Israel was to use the anointing oil only for God s purpose. You are to use the tithe only for the purpose of God. The reason both are to be used only for the purposes of God is because both are holy. The tithe is the tenth part of your income you should return to God by bringing it to the storehouse, Malachi 3:10, where you are being spiritually fed. Anything less than 10 percent of your gross earnings is an offering and anything more than 10 percent of your gross earnings is an offering. You cannot pay on your tithes. Either you tithe, or you do not and it is based on 10 percent of your gross earnings. Today, I encourage you to return to God the holy tithe, which belongs to Him, and be blessed.
