I’m sure you’ll agree that tithing is a pretty hot and controversial topic in the Church and online these days. I would say it’s one of the top subjects that cause fighting and division in the Body of Christ. But it doesn’t need to be this way. There’s a mature way to handle our differences without stirring up trouble and causing division. It is possible to hold different views on the issue of tithing without needing to split from people who see it different to us. Reacting and being cause driven to make everyone agree with us either for or against tithing is immaturity and leads to divisiveness. We need to respect and honour each other’s faith whether it’s to tithe or not to tithe. Of course there can be healthy debate on the topic, but when there is undermining of leadership and trouble stirring in the Church because of a different view, that is just childish and immature and not what God has mandated us to do.

Tithing is not a heaven and hell issue or a black and white issue and therefore it is open to some differences of interpretation. The problem though, is that some people believe the topic is clearly black and white and are adamant that it is or is not part of the New Covenant. Now it’s fine to have strong convictions. But that doesn’t make you mature. What makes you mature is how you handle people who hold an equally strong yet opposing conviction to you. Calling someone a legalist or still under the law because they believe in tithing is in my opinion on par with having a childish tantrum in order to manipulate. Equally so, calling someone licentious or stingy or robbing God because they don’t believe in tithing is the same thing.

We need to be big enough to accept that when it comes to tithing there are people on both sides who hold very strong conviction that they both claim are based on Scripture. We can still walk in love and unity as long as we walk in honour. If your pastor believes in tithing and teaches it in the church but you don’t believe in it (or vice-versa), you just need to live free and by your own convictions, but don’t go around the church undermining the pastor and spreading division over the issue. Don’t get on a cause to “awaken the church to the truth”. Don’t attack the leader as a legalist or mock him because “he doesn’t have a clear revelation of grace like you do”. Rather be free to live by your convictions, walk in love and keep your words honourable when the issue of tithing is raised.
