15. It is the clear duty of church leaders, members and parents to practice tithe faithfulness as one of God’s requirements.
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 the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10.TithPG 15.1
Leviticus 27:30, 32; Numbers 18:21; Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Deuteronomy 8:11-18; Luke 11:42.TithPG 15.2
“Let the church appoint pastors or elders who are devoted to the Lord Jesus, and let these men see that officers are chosen who will attend faithfully to the work of gathering in the tithe. If the pastors show that they are not fitted for their charge, if they fail to set before the church the importance of returning to God His own, if they do not see to it that the officers under them are faithful, and that the tithe is brought in, they are in peril. They are neglecting a matter which involves a blessing or a curse to the church. They should be relieved of their responsibility, and other men should be tested and tried.” E G White, R&H Supplement, Dec. 1, 1986.TithPG 15.3
