Tithing: Is It a Command for Every Christian?

Tithing is a topic that often raises questions: Was it a rule that every Christian had to follow, or is it a personal choice? If we are called to tithe, how exactly are we supposed to give that money to God? Should the tithe go directly to the church, or can we support other Christian organizations and nonprofits as part of our giving?

What are the biblical principles surrounding tithing, its role in our Christian walk, and how we can honor God with our financial resources?

What happened to the tithes that were brought into the storehouse? Do churches follow that example? Malachi 3:10

I’ve heard it explained that the practice of tithing was specifically given as an instruction for Israel under the Old Covenant. Today, we are called to give as we have purposed in our hearts, not out of obligation, but with a joyful spirit. As the Apostle Paul writes, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7. This approach emphasizes voluntary giving based on our own discernment and the joy it brings to our hearts.
