The following is a pre-recorded program.

Should Christians tithe today?

It's time for The Line of Fire with your host, activist, author, international speaker, and theologian, Dr. Michael Brown, your voice of moral, cultural, and spiritual revolution.

Michael Brown is the director of the Coalition of Conscience and President of Fire

School of Ministry. Get into the line of fire now by calling 86634 Truth. That's 86634 Truth. Here again

is Dr. Michael Brown. Hey friends, welcome to the line of fire. This is Michael Brown, and we are doing some special teaching this week on subjects where over the years we've gotten countless, countless questions sent in about the same subjects, about Sabbath observance, about tithing, about dietary laws, about divorce and remarriage. And we've taught on these things. We've gone through the

committed to a local congregation or you go to a house church or right now you're isolated,

you can't go, what you do with money and so on. So I'm not telling you who you should give to,

or specifically what ministry you should support other than where you are nurtured,

the congregation that you are part of, that is your home, where people are pouring into you

and you're able to serve there. That's where you want to underwrite on the most foundational level.

And then there's giving above and beyond that.

But we want to look at principles specifically concerning Toddy.

I won't be taking calls.

I won't be interacting with breaking news around us.

So sit back, take this in, share this with a friend.

It's interesting that in many churches you will be taught very plainly that tithing is required by God today. In other words, to be in full obedience to the Lord

and compliance with the Lord that you should be tithing. And to not be tithing would be, quote, robbing God,
