God's portion first. Joy follows.
Is tithing an Old Testament relic-or the New Testament baseline? In this clear, Scripture-first book, you'll trace the tithe from Genesis to Jesus to Paul-and discover why the tenth is not a fundraising trick or a prosperity gimmick, but an act of worship that God still uses to supply His house and shape His people.
With a gentle, pastoral tone and a lawyer's clarity, the author shows how:
Hezekiah's "heaps," Nehemiah's store rooms, Amos's warning, and Malachi's promise reveal the pattern: when God's portion flows, God's work flourishes.
Jesus affirms the tithe ("These ought ye to have done," Matt 23:23) and Paul carries the principle forward ("Even so hath the Lord ordained...," 1 Cor 9:14).
Hebrews 7 anchors giving in Christ's living priesthood-He still "receives" it.
Not about math-about worship. You'll get a full "nuts & bolts" chapter that makes tithing practical in real life: wages and withholdings, self-employment, partnerships and K-1s, rentals, Social Security and disability, HSAs/FSAs/HRAs, investments and day trading, real-estate sales, inheritances and windfalls, insurance settlements, gift cards, cash tips and side gigs, employer perks and stock plans, credit-card rewards, crypto and digital assets, pensions, IRAs, 401(k)s, and more. Simple. Consistent. Obedient. Always erring generous where the line is gray.
You'll also find a kind but candid chapter answering the top 15 objections (legalism, "pre-cross only," "no storehouse today," "it's all grace now," etc.), plus a pastoral word on why arguing against the baseline hurts both people and the work-with Nehemiah's "Tobiah in the storeroom" as a sober warning.
This book is for:
Believers who want a Bible-anchored, non-combative case for tithing.
Pastors and leaders who need both the theology and the how-to.
New Christians who'd rather start with a clear baseline than a moving target.
What you won't get: guilt trips, gimmicks, or prosperity promises. What you will get is a call to put God first with the firstfruits-and to watch Him supply, steady, and gladden His people.
"When the numbers line up with firstfruits, something healthy is happening inside."
