I tell a story in this message about the best Caesar salad I’ve ever eaten. One of the ingredients is anchovies which if left out, the salad is missing a key ingredient but if too much is used, it overpowers the rest of the ingredients. This is like preaching on tithing in the church. Without it, our practice of stewardship and generosity will be missing a key ingredient but too much leaves the flavor of the church distasteful! This two part message will cover eight critical principles in understanding the Biblical concept of tithing. I believe that too many people resist tithing because they have been taught ideas and concepts that were intended to manipulate them. We must resist manipulation but let’s not forsake God’s wisdom when it comes to our finances. Tithing is not exclusively an Old Testament principle as some say. Tithing is for today and these eight principles will help you begin your journey towards brining your material resources into alignment with Scripture!
