One of the things that has been a challenge for me in the Christian world is hypocrisy and how certain subjects get abused and end up becoming a barrier to community. For me, money is toward the top of the list.
It’s not my favorite topic to talk about but the leadership at Antioch asked me to speak on a theology of money and stewardship this week. Below is my best shot at a comprehensive treatment of tithes, first fruits, and offerings. I also tackle some common objections: “Isn’t tithing abolished with the Old Testament law?” “Shouldn’t our money go to people not pastors?” and “I prefer giving to non-profits, not church.” If you’re able to watch the below, I’d love to hear what you think.
