Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 9:13) “Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? (14)  Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.” It is easy to expect others (the minister) to sacrifice: work a side job or make less than the others in your church. Has the Lord not said that whosoever would follow Him must take up their own cross? I have found that when God’s people tithe, there is enough to care for both the pastor and the church.
