Today Pastor Ben Kingston brings us a message entitled: “The Biblical Doctrine of the Tithe – Timeless Moral Principal or Old Testament Legalism?”

The Old Testamant laid the foundation for the tithe as the proper amount to give as an ethical responsibility toward God and toward our fellow man.

“When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.”
Deuteronomy 26:12-13 (KJV)
