I am amazed at how tenaciously some folks cling to doctrine in spite of truth. In the coming weeks, I’m going to deal with some very serious damage done to the church by the building of doctrine around situational Biblical text. I promise, you’ll want to stay tuned for this because you’re going to hear some blockbuster truth that will shake your religious foundation to dust! But the one I want to deal with today is what may be everyone’s favorite:
Tithing.
Now, I’ve dealt with this on multiple occasions and in multiple articles and have empirically proven that tithing is not commanded for the New Testament believer. And before I get started down this path, let me say that I AM in favor of “grace giving,” in other words, give because it is right, give cheerfully, give generously, and give consistently.
There is no Scripture to support tithing for the New Covenant saint. Period. In order to support this construct, you must either drag up and dust off a covenant that was buried with Jesus and stayed in the ground when He was resurrected or build an extra-biblical straw-man, like, "How do you expect the church to have operating capital?" To this, I respond, "If you require all that money to operate, you may need to re-evaluate the purpose of your local church body..."

So now, say to the men of Judah and to the residents of Jerusalem: This is what the LORD says: I am about to bring harm to you and make plans against you. Turn now, each from your evil way, and correct your ways and your deeds. 12 But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless. We will continue to follow our plans, and each of us will continue to act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’ ” (Jeremiah 18:11-12 HCSB)
There is always a consequence to what we do. God looks to bless us but he will not if we live contrary to His Word. God looks and plans to bless us when we are faithful, but when we are disobedient He plans to judge us. There is no getting around this fact. It is true what is written: Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap, 8 because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life (Gal 6:7-8 HCSB)
Therefore let us change our ways and turn to God. For if we do not the only one have to blame for coming judgement is ourselves.
