Pastor Melissa Scott on Giving
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT GIVING
The Foundation
Pastor Melissa Scott
For more than thirty years we have taught the Biblical principles of giving. People often call and say "How do I support?" and they use terms such as "partner" which may be used in other ministries, but which we don’t use here. Simply put, God’s the boss and we are His servants, not partners. It’s kind of shocking for those that have not yet received this teaching when I say do not give unless you have been taught. Do not send your money to this ministry unless you have been taught in the Word. That is the only reason why you give. As I’ve said in many messages, paraphrasing C.S. Lewis who put it brilliantly, for God to be God He has no needs. We as creatures have needs, but God does not. So, for us in this frame of reference, our stewardship is to give God’s way, and it begins with a right spirit (Exodus 25:1-2).
As always, God shows us in His Word the pattern of how to do things the way He wants us to. The greatest giver of all time is God Himself. He gave His son, and His son Jesus gave His life (John 3:16). In both cases, acts of unconditional, no strings attached love. God gives us the gift of His Spirit, and it is Him dwelling in us and being Himself through us which makes givers of us in response to what we receive from Him through His Word.
I’ve taught out of Galatians 6, "Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teaches in all good things." A better translation of that word communicate is "share". One version puts it, "Let him who is taught in the word pay the one who taught him." That makes it pretty clear. Giving should be to the teacher, and should be in response to the value of teaching received.

Who is This Pastor Scott?
Who is this Pastor? She's great! I have over 14,000 books about the Bible and I've never heard the Bible taught like this. She teaches better than anyone I've ever heard. I mean, she just puts it out there holding nothing back. Is Dr. Scott anything like she is? I'm interested in hearing him too. This is only my second time watching.

I Love This Teaching
I love this teaching! Pastor Scott and Dr. Scott teach me more in one hour than my regular church teaches me in a month. I especially enjoy the Greek and Hebrew translations as well as her ability to stick to the actual text of the Bible. Please send me any information you have on this wonderful ministry!

Thank You for the Program!
I've been going to church for 29 years. I saw Pastor Melissa Scott tonight and she broke it down so well! None of the other churches does this like she does. She really touched me, so I know she is also touching a lot of other people. Thank you for the program!

Recent Watcher
I started watching recently and I am very impressed. There is nothing as powerful as truth. And the truth you are presenting, and the way you are presenting it in numerous languages, is very powerful and could change the entire world!

Cathedral Visitor
I was very impressed with my first visit to the Cathedral. I didn't know there was so much to see inside the United Artists building where your church resides. I'm sorry I didn't get to see it all, but I'm looking forward to returning to hear more of Pastor Scott's Teaching. May I bring a friend?

Retired Dentist Watching
I'm a retired Dentist. When I saw you on TV, wow! What an explosion! I'm amazed! You and I speak the same language. Your teaching has more depth than anything I've heard on TV or in my Lutheran Church.

First Time Caller to 800-338-3030
This is my first time calling and I have a message for Pastor Melissa Scott. My background is in Ancient Greek and my mother was a Greek Scholar. I am so impressed with Pastor Scott's translation from English to Greek. People reading from the Bible in revised English cannot fully appreciate the Bible unless they understand the original Greek. Her translations are superb. She is so very smart and impressive. The Greek really brings the beauty right to the forefront.

Ministers Tune-In
I minister a church here in Illinois. I am calling to let Pastor Scott know that we (myself and my congregation) are blown away by her teaching on Revelation! I also would like to thank her for the package containing the Pulpits that I received. The timing could not have been better. It was such a blessing to receive these. They were impressive, awesome, and I am very grateful for them. Pastor Scott has taught me so much on Revelation that I am just "wowed" by it. I would like to visit the church soon. Please let her know that her teaching is very much appreciated here in Illinois.

Watching Dr. Gene Scott Teaching
I'm sitting here waiting for my lady to get home--she works late--and I found this man, this professor, Dr. Gene Scott. What an amazing man! Then later another person came out, Pastor Melissa Scott, and she's amazing too! This is new for me. I'm a Christian Scientist and it's not like me to be interested in a message about God like the church talks about. But this has me interested! Please send me everything you can. I think they are both fabulous.

Calling from California - Pastor Scott Post
New York Making a Commitment
I have always been a seeker after truth. I would be so thrilled to become a King’s House and King’s Tither. I called tonight after Pastor Scott referred to Dr. Scott as her late husband. I used to watch Dr. Scott decades ago. I’m so sorry it took me so long to commit to this ministry.

ION Watcher - Dish Network - Pastor Melissa Scott
I recently came upon Pastor Melissa Scott's broadcast on ION. I am fascinated by your teachings!! I love the Greek and Hebrew! The other day Pastor Scott was talking about “koinonea” so I’d like to be a King’s House. I hope to attend service at The Los Angeles University Cathedral in LA.

Florida is Listening
I want to become a King’s Tither. I’m going to pay where I eat. I love your teaching, Pastor Scott, the word studies and all your research. I love the way God is using your ministry. I have been looking for a ministry I could tithe to. You are feeding me when I was starving. Thank you Pastor Scott!
