Great video. In my countless hours of study on the topic Ive come to 4 principles we have as the church in Biblical giving.
1. Proportionally: the more you make the more you can give.
2. Sacrificially: our gift should cost us something. Certainly 1 or 2% isnt a sacrifice.
3. Consistently: budget, plan, be intentional with your resources so you can give...or it may seem as a taxation Paul says.
4. Cheerfully: your motives behind the gift must be right. God loves the cheerful giver.

I had a patient in a wheelchair who tithed her social security income, which was all she got. Whenever I think that I can’t afford to make the tithe, I think of her. And He has always gotten us through.

Those who use Malachi to enforce tithing only show they do not know how to interpret the Word. This book was written to the priests who were not being faithful in carrying out their duties. When God says to test Him in this, He is NOT talking to the people, only the unfaithful priests. We are never to test Him in this issue. We give in faith, it is the priests who must make sure the wealth (money, offerings, etc.) are distributed faithfully. The priests were robbing God in their unwillingness to store up the food as required by the Tithe by holding it only for themselves.The entire book of Malachi must be read to see each item of unfaithfulness in the full context. So this book is actually a warning to the leadership to use the offerings given to glorify God, and not build up personal wealth.

I stopped tithing when all I saw was my pastor buying luxurious cars and properties, eating in the best restaurants and going on vacations. I am no longer in his church anyways, I realized he preaches the prosperity Gospel.

[pielukas]

My minister once told us that tithing is not for Christians. But he also said that we should support he church that we attend

[Lowpressure]

Love this, Allen. People are in bondage to this teaching, and I hate it. I grew up being taught to tithe and if I didn't my finances would be cursed. I got saved at 16 and kept tithing until I was encouraged to do a study on tithing myself. Long story short, I was set free from the tithing bondage!

[MILLZ]

Facts! There are a lot of churches out here giving false promises about paying the tithes, and you would receive a blessing, and there are a lot of folks struggling to pay bills. He who is kind to the poor is lending to Adonai; and he will repay him for his good deed Proverbs 19:17. Offering is good to support the church. We should be willing and cheerful givers. God bless you bro!

Bro. This is a great teaching on tithing and something the Lord has been working into my heart over the past few months. My motivation for giving has changed from an old testament, Law perspective to a heart of generosity, new testament perspective. Although, I still give a tenth to my church, it's not because I am required to do so by the law or from fear of being cursed. We have been redeemed from the curse of the law. I give a tenth because it allows me to give regularly. I also give offerings when the Holy Spirit prompts me to give. The offerings are more spontaneous giving. The whole point is the Lord challenged my motivation for giving and a lot of the points you made, were the ones he worked into my heart. Thanks for putting this out there. Keep up the good fight!

It's his money to begin with, and it supports the church. It pays the bills.

[katiemillang]

In my observations, many pastors refuse to even study this topic fully. Perhaps fearing they won't get paid. It's annoying because I've been in positions where I would have given to them had they not made it seem like I had to. Generosity is a fruit of the Spirit. Most Christians will still give (or start to) if you are honest with them. Thank you Allen for this video.

10% from my full time salary and 10% from my side hustle as well.

Tip: If your pastor teaches titheing requirement, he's teaching plenty of other false teachings, as well.

[henrywarner]

As long as I've been tithing, all I know is that it works! I don't care what the pastor does or what he buys I don't count anybody's pocket anyway, but when I tithe I become blessed and the Devoirer stays away from me!

[MusicRainey]

I’m so glad you broke this down like you did, Leaders really need to stop making people feel like they’re going to be Cursed if they are not tithing…. I’m so glad My Pastor broke it down just like you when my husband and I joined the church after leaving my previous church !!! ❤️❤️

[yonibuni]

I was a member of a church where the pastor is my brother in law and I remember him using fear to make the members give a certain amount of tithing. Fortunately I’m no longer there and unfortunately the church is no longer open because a lot of ppl left as well.

[cordovanhobbyist]

Amen, Brother Allen! Thank you for this message! Givng can unlock extra earthly blessings and giving will result in eternal rewards for believers. I tithed because a former pastor said these 4 things. You're stealing from God. You open a door for curses. You're arrogant for choosing to live without God's provision. You may have felt pressured, right? I sure was. I realized the truth recently. Anyone who's heard these words please don't listen to prosperity pressure. Give to your heart's content :)

Tithing … no longer required for entrance but “Behold, He is coming and He will give to each person according to what they have done.” (Rev 22:12)

[joelcurtis]

Great teaching; I was mislead by this for decades until I finally saw how preachers were psychologically manipulating Believers to give - especially in the faith/prosperity movement. Thanks for making this clear. LOTS of abuse in this area.

God doesn't need our money, but the church does. I personally like having a building with electricity and other utilities to go to every week to worship. Air conditioning sure is nice in the summer, and heat in the winter :) Running water is nice as well. I also like knowing that my contributions put food on the table for my elders and their families. My church also helps those in need in our local body, and in the community at large. Our finance team does a good job of disclosing what all of these things cost and how much those costs are per committed family in the church. That is a very practical thing that helps us think about what we can do to help and to be a blessing to the body. As for me and my house, that is no less than 10% as a "tithe", plus an additional fixed amount for offerings to help cover building expenses. Some people do more if they are financially able, and I'm sure some do less or nothing at all if they don't feel they can. I do not judge anyone for what they feel they can or can't do. That's between them and the Lord.

Tithe is a way to worship. I have given tithe for 50 years. Above and beyond tithe is offering. I dont not know of Christian church's requiring tithe. However, I do not know how a church would survive without tithe. I am the treasurer at my church and it pays salary to church employees, repairs, utilities and other ministry's. We do have many cheerful givers at our fellowship. However, it is between you and God. Our fellowship does not preach on tithe at all. So all the replys I am getting, I never said it was Biblical. As I stated, it is between you and God.
