Chequemate: Endgame

The CHEQUMATE series rounds off with an exposition on tithing and giving the Biblical way. We discover that not many believers know how to separate which parts of the Old Testament laws still apply today. This is due to a lack of understanding of the context of the law. When it comes to the subject of tithing, the wrong understanding would cause you to fall into two possible ditches, which are: 1. A ditch of pure compliance following the law of tithing, regardless of context, heart, or understanding. 2. A ditch that swings so far towards the essence of the law that compliance disappears altogether. However, when we look at the act of giving in the New Testament, we see that it was purposeful, frequent, sacrificial, and structural. It was also done as a form of worship to God.
