Malachi 3:10 must be understood in the context of the Old Testament and in relation to the other laws. Therefore, it will be wrong to demand tithing from Christians today based on this text. This article shows that the New Testament encourages Christians to give in response to grace shown them. The author also discusses guidelines to giving and means of giving.

This article address the question whether tithing, that is, giving ten percent of one’s income, is obligatory for Christians. This is the first in a series of two articles investigating this question by studying all references to tithing in Scripture. The discussion commences with Old Testament references to tithing prior to the giving of the Mosaic Law, the Mosaic Law itself and the historical and prophetic books, notably Malachi 3:8.

Tithing or giving is rooted in a conviction that God owns everything. From 1 Corinthians 16 this article shares the pattern of Christian giving.

The historical principle behind tithing was the conviction that God owns everything. As a result, tithes were used to support the ordained minister, pay for material costs for worship, and support the care for the needy. Believers today are called to give for the same purpose.

The goal of how we use our money is the glory of God. The right motive for giving lies in understanding this principle. This article explains the principle.

This article looks at the principle behind tithing in the Old Testament. The principle that God owns everything should motivate Christians to tithe for the support of the preaching of the gospel and the ministry of the diaconate.

Looking at Numbers 18 and Deuteronomy 14, this article shows how the tithe law functioned in Israel.
