Relating to the Tithe
According to the Word

Book Cover & Preview Text
One of the most popular topics by many preachers today is the subject of tithing. One of the first things a novice will learn if he does not already know is that the word tithe means a tenth. In many churches it is expected of members to pay a tithe of their income to the church plus give additional offerings besides the tithe. It is ironic how tithing is frequently mentioned by many and is also one of the most misunderstood subjects of the Bible. It is hard to watch a television evangelist without hearing the word tithe at some time during the program. The doctrine of tithing money has been dogmatically taught by many and has been unquestionably accepted by many. One of the iterative warnings within the Bible is that many teaching many is not a factor for creditability.
One of the primary purposes for this book is to address the doctrine of tithing in many of the churches of God. I certainly advocate members supporting church ministries but not by mandating monetary tithes. Church members have the right to freely give what-ever amount they choose in supporting the work of God. Mandating monetary tithes was not the policy implemented by Jesus the head of the body. Ministers are abusing authority when they coerce or mislead people to pay monetary tithes without the consent of our Chief Shepherd. Many are being swindled because of a lack of understanding of what the Word says about tithing.
