Q.
Should a business owner tithe on the gross business income as well as the
personal income?
A.
Many businesses do both. We do that with our ministry. Technically, what the
ministry gives is not tithe, it is seed. So we sow it wherever we feel led to
sow. But the ministry sows at least 10 percent of our gross ministry income,
and Mark and Gina tithe on their personal income. It was when we started doing
this that we first began to experience prosperity, and saw big doors begin to
open. We are not aware of any scriptural reference which stipulates that
a business should tithe, so we would encourage you to just let God lead you.
Mark tries not to ever teach anything as theology if he cannot find actual
scriptural basis for it. Just because we feel that God wants us to do
something, that doesn't make it "law" for anyone else.
Firstfruits
Since
the first printing of God’s Plan For Prosperity, the number on question
asked by readers is for more information regarding Firstfruits. Keep in mind
that when the Bible was written, basically everyone was a farmer to some
degree. Because of this, there was no need for an in depth explanation
regarding Firstfruits. In today’s economy, it is sometimes more complicated
to determine exactly how to "compute" Firstfruits, and to know the
amount which is appropriate. I am hesitant to give too much speculation, if I
do not have clear Biblical support for my opinion. Therefore, my first
suggestion is that you seek God’s direction for you and your particular
situation. He will direct you. Let His peace be your guide.
Several people have asked
what to do in regard to a one-a-year bonus. My suggestion is that you divide
that bonus by the number of pay periods you have in year. Then, the first
"taste" would be essentially the amount of that bonus for one pay
period. Then, you should tithe on the remainder of that bonus.
Again, I am hesitant to
impose by opinion on anyone else if I do not have clear scriptural direction
in regard to Firstfruits. Therefore, I urge you to seek God’s direction for
you particular situation.
If you have a question which
was not answered above, please email your question to questions@markgorman.com.
