In this sermon What The Bible Teaches About Tithing, we learn tithing is an expression of gratitude. One who does not are not grateful, don't feel obligated to God, cares nothing for His cause, recognizes no higher authority than himself, cares nothing for God's blessing. Those who fail to pay tithe not only robs God but hinders the spread of the glorious gospel and for this "Ye are cursed with a curse." God's work requires money; tithing is God's way of financing His cause. All that a Christian is, and all that may come to him is a gift from God and belongs to his Lord. Tithe should be paid for a purpose other than just a law. Tithing is an act of recognizing an authority higher than yourself.  It is an act of love and thanksgiving for material things received from God's Creation. Tithing is an act of confession of obligations to God who has been your helper in time of need. Tithing is an act of returning to God a portion of that which he has given to you. It is an act of payment of your obligation as member of His Church for the support of His cause. It's the key to divine blessings. Jacob left Canaan empty and returned with much cattle and many servants after he started paying his tithe. If God gets His part, your part will go further than the whole with God's curse on it. Malachi 3:10, Luke 6:38, 2 Corinthians 9:6.
