Tithing is one of those issues that has divided the church. Some have preached on it and made their congregations feel guilty they have not given their tithe to the Lord. Some churches go so far that if you don't give your tithe, you are excommunicated from the church.
The one passage used when discussing tithing is found in the Old Testament book of Malachi:
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need (Malachi 3:8-10)
