Hey Graham, ... Fair enough. I was just curious if you had specific observations. On first read, I thought it was fairly good. But, I'd like to consider what...
IMHO, it is interesting that we get a bit squemish when we begin talking about money(tithing) and the church. It's quite humerous to me that Jesus never got...

John, My basic understanding is, 'give until it hurts!' For some that will be around 10%, for others it should be nearer to 90. For some it may be as little as...
John, I think the passage you mean is Romans 14. I think you sum this up nicely. We only talk about 10% because we don't have an overall attitude of giving....
Great points! I so often feel like I do not give enough and that I live in luxury even though most of my friends think I live way below my means. That is...
Concerning tithing, I recently preached on Malachi 3 and read Neither Poverty Nor Riches by Craig Blomberg as part of my preparation. I commend his book...

Jamin has said well. "Namely, if tithing is a principle we should be following then why not the rest of the old law." I might add: God's word clearly teaches...
I have heard those in favor of tithing refure the argument that tithing is part of the law by saying that tithing was before the law was given. Abraham tithe...

Brethren, No one is arguing against generous giving. The difficulty lies in the fact that a good many pastors/ministries teach tithing as law for the believer...
The issue for me is not the percentage, though I accept that the language is fairly clear that tithe means 10%. However, tithing in the OT seemed to do two...

Ya'll ever wonder why Malachi is so popular a proof for the "tithing" argument in the church, yet and it generally is done so without referernce to exactly...

David, I share this concern. I grew up in church and my parents (unfortunately) church-hopped, so in my life I've been in lots of churches. The one my husband...
As a 23 yr old it is hard for me to know how to feel about tithing. I once heard it said that it isn't a command, but a call to worship God. We are to worship...
