Tithing by A.W. Pink (1886-1952) – free book

Tithing by A.W. Pink (1886-1952) is a new addition to the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. Pink was born and lived much of his life in England although he also pastored churches in Australia, America and Scotland. Prior to his conversion in his 20s Pink was involved in a gnostic occult. In his own life Pink was never particularly well known, but Iain Murray says of Pink, “the widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century.” Not surprisingly this book deals with the topic of tithing and its place in the modern church.

Here is an extract from the book:

Tithing is even more obligatory on the saints of the New Testament than it was upon God’s people in Old Testament days—not equally binding, but more binding, and that for two reasons: first, on the principle of “unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required” (Luke 12:48). The obligations of God’s saints today are much greater than the obligations of the saints in Old Testament times, because our privileges and our blessings are greater. As grace is more potent than law, as love is more constraining than fear, as the Holy Spirit is more powerful than the flesh, so our obligations to tithe are greater, for we have a deeper incentive to do that which is pleasing to God.
