Truth Exposed: Tithing
Why are we called to tithe?
- To honor God as our provider
- To acknowledge that everything comes from him
- It is an act of worship
- It is a reminder of God’s lordship
- It reflects our faith, trust, and gratitude
Proverbs 3:9 commands this. Genesis 14:20 instituted the tithe. Malachi 3:8-10 lays it all on the line; when we don’t tithe, we are stealing from God.
Deuteronomy 6:16 tells us that we are not permitted to test God; he is holiness and truth, and his word stands forever, yet in Malachi 3:10 God commands us to test him. Take him up on it.
