CLC President Michael Eichstadt… Read More »Month Archive Read More

What is the greatest degree of commitment you could express toward someone? To say “I would die for you” certainly conveys very great commitment, but it is not an expression of the highest commitment. That would have to be “I would live for you.” There are, after all, many things worth dying for: your family,… Read More »Month Archive Read More

Is Tithing Commanded in Scripture?

Written by Wayne Eichstadt | September, 2016

Yes, tithing is commanded in Scripture, but that is not the whole story. Tithing actually began before it was commanded. When Melchizedek blessed Abram, he responded by giving Melchizedek “a tithe of all” (Genesis 14:19-20). A “tithe” is, simply, a “tenth.” In the Old Testament, God commanded that a tenth of all the land’s produce… Read More »Month Archive Read More

Both were formed out of already existing Lutheran Churches that were forced to leave their fellowship because of false teaching.
