A pastor argues tithing is mandatory obedience, not charity. God owns everything; the tithe is returning what's already his. Malachi 3 promises overflow for faithful return, not voluntary giving.
You think you're generous, but you're just obedient. The tithe is the floor, not the ceiling. Returning 10% isn't generosity, it's the bare minimum. God owns all of it. You just get to manage a portion. Malachi 3 doesn't promise overflow for giving. It promises it for returning. Return what's his and then give above that.
