Exodus 35:4,5,29

Exodus 35:4,5,29 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass, The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. God commanded His people to give for the building of the Tabernacle. But they were not commanded to give a certain amount per person or to give a tithe; they were commanded to give a free-will offering. And that is a good way to fund the house of God. Give freely because you want to, not because you have to. 10% is a good start, but we should give over and above that. We should love to give to God’s house. The Children of Israel did!
