STEWARDSHIP QUOTATION GIVING OUT OF COERCION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO GOD Matthew 10:8 ....Freely you have received, freely give.

NKJV I saw that the cause of God is not to be carried forward by pressed offerings. God does not accept such offerings. This matter is to be left wholly to the people.

They are not to bring a yearly gift merely, but should also freely present a weekly and monthly offering before the Lord. This work is left to the people, for it is to be to them a weekly, monthly, living test. This tithing system, I saw, would develop character, and manifest the true state of the heart. (Testimoney for the churches vol.1 p237.1). *(Pressed offering really means, by force or coercion).

There has been a neglect in the churches of keeping up the plan of systematic benevolence, and the result has been an impoverished treasury and a backslidden church 3T 408.5
