Question and Answer of the Week: the Old Testament Model of Tithing and Christians Today
Does the Old Testament model of tithing still apply to Christians today, since it was part of the old covenant?
I have mixed feelings on tithing. I detest legalism. I certainly don’t want to pour new wine into old wineskins, imposing superseded first covenant restrictions on Christians. However, the fact is that every New Testament example of giving goes beyond the tithe.
