What is Tithing?
from Wednesday in the Word · host Krisan Marotta
The Bible has about 500 verses on prayer and over 2000 verses on money and income. While both prayer and finances are important to God, I suspect money gets more verses because we have more trouble with it -- particularly giving it away.We don't like to think about tithing; we avoid sermons on it and we have lots of questions about it.In my experience, most sermons on tithing boil down to "give more, give often -- to us". But the information I really want is the whys and hows behind tithes and offerings from the giver's perspective and whether the New Testament changes anything.Most people fail at Bible study because no one ever taught them how. Bible Study Boot Camp fixes that: one short email a day for a week, plus a worksheet you can use on any passage for the rest of your life.Sign up for Bible Study Boot Camp
