It is this spirit to me that seems to run so contrary to faith, this spirit of doubt and fear. For this reason, I find tithing to be against faith. Let us trust in God. If that is truly the motto you preach, search yourself and I think you'll be surprised to find fear and doubt at the heart of your preaching tithes.

Indeed.
This discussion is not about withholding giving as so many try to make it out to be.
It is about God's people being free from undue and unbiblical laws put upon them and it is about a NT relationship with God and our money that teaches us to give outside a law and a threat of hell.
It is about people being taught and led to a place of personal decision in their finances that comes from having the spirit and nature of a loving and giving God within them that leads them to give as they feel compelled and finding God's will in that giving.
It is about giving freely... because God loves those that do so.
