In the new covenant we are to be cheerful givers, however the money used went to the homless the poor, the widows, and to those in need.
problem today with churches is they preach tithes and use malachi to state that you will be under a curse if you dont.
One just needs to be a cheerful giver, for it is more blessed to give than recieve.
we get blessed because we give. There is no arguement in that. But i would say lets get back to the principles that Paul taught about giving

Then you must also agree with this statement and what Paul taught also
Gala 6:5-10 For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
