“Giving Part 2” by Pastor Frederick K. Price Jr. continues its exploration of biblical principles related to giving within the context of the church. Here are the key points:
 
  1. Abraham’s Example: Drawing from Genesis 14:13-20, Pastor Price highlights Abraham’s practice of giving a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek. This act was based on the ancient custom of paying a tenth, akin to a tax, to kings and deities in Abraham’s hometown of Mesopotamia.
  2. The Law of Tithing: The same principle of tithing was later given to Israel. The Old Testament outlines various tithes for specific purposes:
    • Festival Tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22-26): Set aside for religious celebrations and feasts.
    • Levitical Tithe (Deuteronomy 14:27): Allocated to support the Levites, who served in the temple.
    • Tithe for the Poor Saints (Deuteronomy 14:28-29): Collected every three years to assist those in need.
  3. New Testament Giving: In contrast to rigid rules, New Testament giving is characterized by a heart-led approach. Believers are encouraged to give according to their means, willingly and without reluctance. It’s not just about money; it’s a good deed that aligns with the believer’s new nature in Christ.
