Freed from Tithing, Free to Give - Part 1 of 4
This series is based on a ten-part blog series (http://blog.graceroots.org/p/tithe-series.html). The Bible has a lot to say about tithing and giving (much more than just Malachi!) so I didn't want to just skim things over. I wanted to give better attention to what the scriptures actually say.
In Part 1 we discuss the pre-law tithes of Abraham and Jacob and we talk about the foolishness of taking scriptures out of context, which in my opinion is the only way to teach tithing in a New Covenant context. In Part 2 we look at the Old Testament tithing laws (which again, are MANY, not just Malachi) and we see how they just don't fit into the New Covenant. In Part 3 we look at the few New Testament mentions of tithing (which were not instructions for Christians). In Part 4 we look at what giving looks like when people are truly "Freed from Tithing" and "Free to Give."

A Prayer for God to Be Your Shield and Portion Today - Your Daily Prayer - May 24
I love this passage in the Bible because it sums up the spiritual reality in all difficult circumstances. How many times do we see the enemy and opposing forces against us, just like Elisha’s servant? And that puts us in a panic - yet the angelic armies of the Living God are unseen but present nonetheless, and far greater. We just need to see that substantial truth!
