Pastoral Chat: In the New Covenant, giving is meant to be a heartfelt, Spirit-led act—not something done under pressure or compulsion. While the Old Covenant required a 10% tithe to support the Levitical priesthood, the New Testament emphasizes generosity based on personal conviction and need. Believers are encouraged to support one another and ministers of the gospel, but nowhere in Scripture is a pastor authorized to demand a specific amount of money. True biblical giving is cheerful, voluntary, and directed by God—not commanded by man.
