"It is part of the minister's work to teach those who accept the truth through his efforts, to bring the tithe to the storehouse, as an acknowledgment of their dependence upon God. The new converts should be fully enlightened as to their duty to return to the Lord His own. The command to pay tithe is so plain that there is no semblance of excuse for disregarding it. He who neglects to give instruction on this point, leaves undone a most important part of his work. GW 370.1"
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
EGW directly references and expands upon the principle of tithing found in Malachi 3:10, emphasizing the minister's role in teaching new converts about this duty.
"Ministers must also impress upon the people the importance of bearing other burdens in connection with the work of God. No one is exempt from the work of benevolence. The people must be taught that every department of the cause of God should enlist their support and engage their interest. The great missionary field is open before us, and this subject must be agitated, agitated, again and again. The people must be made to understand that it is not the hearers, but the doers of the Word, who will gain eternal life. And they are to be taught also that those who become partakers of the grace of Christ are not only to communicate of their substance for the advancement of the truth, but are to give themselves to God without reserve. GW 370.2"
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
EGW directly quotes and applies the principle from James 1:22 about being doers of the word, not just hearers.
"Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
Both passages emphasize the importance of bearing burdens and supporting the work of God. While EGW's passage is broader, it aligns with the principle of mutual support and shared responsibility found in Galatians 6:2.
