Anything preached legalistically is dead-wrong, sister. We cannot make excuses for it. When giving tithes is an escape from cursing all the while Jesus is our escape from cursing, having been made a curse for us, legalism robs Christ of His position in our lives and replaces Him. To me, that is serious.
Giving should always be done cheerfully. If one is not a cheerful giver, then there is a problem. Often, legalism is that problem.
