And if we don't tithe the first 10% of whatever we make, we are robbing God. Malachi says the following:
Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even] this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
This is the only place in the Bible where God tells you to test Him. Do you tithe 10%, or are you robbing God. And if you don't tithe, is it because you don't trust God at His word.
I want to say that I'm a Christian, but I have not given God what I should. Maybe I haven't trusted God the way I should.
