Tithing Part 1
By A.W. Pink0GEN 14:20GEN 28:19A.W. Pink emphasizes the biblical principle of tithing, arguing that many Christians misunderstand their financial obligations to God. He traces the practice of tithing from the early patriarchs, such as Abraham and Jacob, through the Mosaic Law, and into the New Testament, asserting that God has always specified a portion of our income to be returned to Him. Pink highlights that tithing is not merely a suggestion but a divine command, and neglecting it equates to robbing God. He calls for a return to scriptural teachings on giving, noting that true revival often includes a renewed commitment to tithing. Ultimately, Pink asserts that faithful tithing leads to God's blessings and the flourishing of Christian enterprises.
