Acts 17:24-25

13. 1. Tithing is a good place to start
when obeying God’s command to
Give
14. “A tithe of everything from the land,
whether grain from the soil or fruit from
the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy
to the LORD.” Leviticus 27:30
15. “Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How
have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and offerings. You are cursed
with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in
my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts,
if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for
you a blessing until there is no more need.”
Malachi 3:8-10
16. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of
your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you
have neglected the more important matters of
the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You
should have practiced the latter, without
neglecting the former.” (NIV)
Matthew 23:23
