Certified Kingdom Advisors offer guidance on two practical frameworks for tithing in retirement, one focusing on tithing on the portion that represents increase or growth, and the other on tithing on income as it's received.

In a society that often worships youth, the Church of Jesus Christ must remember that it is a multi-generational family, where all ages are valued and honoured.

God will either give you what you ask for or give you angelic strength to deal with what he wants. To activate angels, worship, sacrifice, pray, submit to authority, and be a witness to Jesus Christ. When you worship, you join the angels in doing what they do best, and God activates them on your behalf. Submission means coming underneath the appropriate authority, and angels only operate under authority. Prayer is a way to activate angels, and Jesus understood this when he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. When you're facing something impossible, submit to a greater strength, and God will let you see the angels coming up and down your commitment to Jesus Christ, addressing your needs on earth from the solutions in heaven.

The Lord's Supper is a sacrament that should be observed frequently, as it is a means of receiving spiritual nourishment and true communication with the Lord. The early church practiced weekly communion, and this precedent should inform our approach to the frequency of observance.
