Description
Many churches teach that believers today should give 10% of their income to the church. They often use the language “tithes and offerings” to identify the difference between this 10% requirement to be given to the local church and giving that lies outside this requirement. But is the biblical mandate of 10% expected of believers in Jesus? Does the New Testament place this Old Testament expectation on today’s Church of Jesus Christ? I believe it does not. This paper explains the difference between the Old Testament tithe and New Testament giving and describes God’s expectations for giving in the Church today.
