There are many controversial subjects at church, the tithe being at the top of the list.
Some argue that it was only a part of the Old Covenant. Others argue that giving is a heart issue, not a percentage issue.
Both are interesting conversations to have, but let me give you another viewpoint.
Whenever the Bible provides specific instructions on money, I follow them. The tithe is a very plainly written instruction in Malachi—the first 10% of our increase belongs to God.
Where does it say to give it? Where we get fed spiritually (the storehouse). And that's the amazing thing about the tithe. It belongs to God, only for God to use it to feed you.
What is the result of obeying this command? It opens the windows to heaven's endless blessings.
Tithing moves you from the world's economy to God's economy.
So, my question is, why would you want to debate the tithe? It's all-around an amazing thing. Just do it.
