"Tithing is not a matter of finance; it is a matter of faith"

[D. James Kennedy, "Freedom from Financial Fear"]

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'

"In tithes and offerings.  You are under a curse--the whole nation of you--because you are robbing me.
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see

if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing

that you will not have room enough for it" (Malachi 3:8-10).
