Deuteronomy 14:23
Compare all
21 a“You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; bfor you are a holy people to the Lord your God. “cYou shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.  

Tithing Principles

22 a“You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.  
23 aAnd you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of bthe firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.  
24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or aif the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you,  
25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.
26 And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall arejoice, you and your household.  
27 You shall not forsake the aLevite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.  
28 a“At the end of every third year you shall bring out the btithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.  
29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Deuteronomy 14:23:

Deuteronomy 14:22-27

Remember, it is the Feast of Tabernacles. What does God say we are going to do? We have tons of tithe. Right? We can go to the best restaurants. We can be with our friends and fellow spiritual Israelites, and God says you can have whatever your heart desires during this time, and I want you to rejoice even though you are living in a temporary dwelling.

So we are supposed, at this time, to have the experiences and the creature comforts, if you will, of whatever, within the bounds of proper godly conduct. I mean you can look at that in Deuteronomy 14:22-27. God tells us you can have strong drink if you want. Just, you know, do not get drunk. Enjoy it, do not just slug it down. Smell it, taste it, swirl it around your mouth a little bit.

Understand how the rich live, if you will, for this week. But do not overdo it. That is what He wants us to do.
