Many call this a sensitive subject and do not like to talk about it. Church ministers, pastors and leaders do not like discussing this as they may fear church income will drop significantly making it hard to finance ministries. Ordinary church goers don't talk about it either because they fear they can be seen to be doubting God's Holy word which has been preached to them by the anointed people of God a.k.a the church leaders.
Wake up guys! Study this topic for yourself and let the Holy Spirit lead you out from a place of fear to a place of faith. Have faith in God's new covenant with His people which has replaced the old one! Under this new covenant which was sealed by Jesus blood on the cross there is absolutely no place for tithing.
Let's get rid of this law and become generous, cheerful givers. As ministers, pastors and leader why don't we stop preaching this law which can only bring condemnation. Instead let us be brave and believe that God has the power to change hearts and create generous and cheerful givers.
