The Truth About Tithing
Publisher Description
Is the "Ten Percent Tithe" truly God's standard for the Church, or have we traded the freedom of Grace for the burden of the Law?
For generations, faithful Christians have been taught that tithing—giving ten percent of their income to the local church—is the baseline of obedience. We've heard the sermons on Malachi, the warnings about "robbing God," and the promises of open floodgates. But for many, this teaching has produced more guilt than joy, and more fear than freedom.
In The Truth About Tithing, we open the pages of Scripture to investigate the "traditions of men" that have obscured the liberating truth of the Gospel. With a pastor's heart and a deep commitment to biblical integrity, this book invites you to look past the slogans and see what the Bible actually says.
In this book, you will discover:
•The Biblical Reality: Why the Old Testament tithe was never about money, but about food, festivals, and caring for the poor—and why it totaled far more than ten percent.
•The Historical Context: How the stories of Abraham, Jacob, and the Pharisees have been taken out of context to enforce a system God never intended for the Church.
•The Silence of the Apostles: Why Paul, Peter, and the early church leaders never commanded believers to tithe, even when they had every opportunity to do so.
•The Danger of the "Bottomless Pit": A candid look at how modern institutional bloat drives the desperate demand for funding, often at the expense of true ministry.
•The Higher Call of Grace: How the New Covenant invites us into a "Giving All Mentality" of our time, talent, and resources—not as a legal duty, but as a joyful response to the One who gave His all for us.
This is not a book about giving less; it is a book about loving more. It is a call to step out of the shadows of the Law and into the marvelous light of Spirit-led stewardship. Whether you are struggling with financial guilt, questioning church tradition, or simply seeking a deeper walk with Christ, The Truth About Tithing will guide you toward a generosity that is voluntary, cheerful, and deeply rooted in the finished work of Jesus.
Stop paying a bill to God and start offering your life to Him. Discover the freedom of giving under Grace.
