QuestionWhat are ways of showing love to God?Community AnswerOne thing you need to understand is that there aren't ways listed in the Bible or anywhere saying, "Here you go. This is the list to show that you love God." It doesn't work that way. It depends on your heart. Anything that you do, if you do it for the glory of God and do it with the love of Christ, then you can show God you love him. You can show it by becoming a missionary to one of the most dangerous places in the world, or open the door for the elderly. As long as you do it with your heart, a heart that loves God, then that is more than enough for Him. There are no acts, God sees your heart, and He simply knows.

QuestionDo I have to tithe if I'm in debt, and do I have to give it to the pastor's office?Andrew CowellCommunity AnswerIt is important to tithe no matter what. We don't just tithe when we are financially stable, but we tithe always to show God that no matter where we are in life, we are trusting Him with our money. Tithes do not only need to be done in a pastor's office. Tithes can be given in many ways. God doesn't care about the money itself, he has no need for material things. He just wants to see that our hearts are in the right place.
