1). Don't Limit Your Money Flow
This author has a dear friend who says that tithing is the worst thing a Christian can do if he really wants to prosper. Of course, he did not mean this in a negative way.
He just means he has learned that tithing alone will not generate real wealth for us Christians. Tithing is only part one of God’s wealth generation process.
He learned by personal experience, that giving beyond the tithe is the answer to really unlocking the doors to heaven’s vault.

2). What Is The Storehouse Where The Tithes Go?
Things in the Old Testament were given for us to have examples of what to do and what not to do. Paul shows us this.

1 Cor 10:11

upon whom the ends of the world are come.

I don’t believe that the new covenant believer is commanded anywhere in the Bible to give ten percent of his income to God. If, having read this article, you still believe the Bible specifically commands us to tithe, then you should practice and teach it. God will bless you and your church as result. However, I invite you to consider the following summary of the biblical teaching on tithing.

These lessons are designed to be easily used for personal Bible Study or as a guide for group Bible Studies.

6). Dumb Things People Say about Preaching on Stewardship
Copyright 2006 Rod Rogers
We had just begun to pass the food around the table at Thanksgiving dinner last year when a friend of the family said, 'The reason our church's giving is good is because our pastor never preaches about money.' I responded as casually as I could, 'So you’re saying that your church’s giving is good because your pastor never preaches any of the countless biblical passages about money?'
She didn't answer me and I let the conversation flow in other directions.

8). Tithing: The Active Ingredient in Living a Prosperous Life
True prosperity has a spiritual basis. "God is the Source of your supply." So states Catherine Ponder in her wonderful book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity. Just as we engage God through prayer for that which we claim to be true, and we connect with God spiritually through the practice of meditation, so too do we give the GIFT of Tithing to consistently keep in touch with the Infinite Source of our supply, God.

10). Is Tithing a Sin?
Copyright 2006 Rod Rogers
Is it a sin to tithe?
No. Yes.
No, tithing (giving a tenth) is not a sin if the actual dollar amount is sacrificial, proportionate to the level of your financial prosperity, and generous. Whatever you think about the applicability of Old Testament tithing laws to the new covenant believer (see my article 'The Truth about the Tithe'), the New Testament clearly lays out the following minimal requirements for acceptable giving:

11). Religion: Institution Or Revolution?
In writing any article about religion you run the risk of people not agreeing with you or the risk of offending people. Does that mean we should not write about religion? Absolutely not.
Should we worry that people might be offended? No. We should not go out of our way to offend people, but as long as you write your true beliefs, then you are doing what is in your heart and should share that with others.

12). 5 Qualities to Look for in a Stewardship Consultant
Copyright 2006 Rod Rogers
With only 4 percent of American church members tithing, many churches badly need a boost in offerings. Unfortunately, most of us pastors have no training in stewardship development and have no idea how to lead people to generous, biblical giving.

13). Tithing Today – A Highly Polarised Debate - Where Do You Stand?
As with any debate that involves money, you’ll find strong views for and against tithing. If you type “tithe”, “tithes” or “tithing” into a search engine you quickly begin to get the impression that there are at least one or two former tithe payers out there who aren’t “happy bunnies” and you’d be forgiven for thinking that they’re probably not going to give you the most balanced view of this rather emotive subject.

14). When Preaching on Money, Don't Be More “Spiritual” Than God
Copyright 2006 Rod Rogers
In spite of the fact that God makes numerous promises of financial rewards for generous giving, many church leaders are too “spiritual” to preach them. They grow visibly agitated when these promises are mentioned, and are quick to qualify them. For example, in “10 Principles of Giving,” an otherwise outstanding exposition of 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, Dr.
