A church tax? (part 3 of 6)

In the Old Covenant there were some set taxes. People gave a certain amount of money each year as well as other offerings. Sometimes Christians use passages about the Old Covenant to support a tax in the church (e.g. Deuteronomy 29).

But we need to be careful. Jesus has come. We are now in a new covenant. We live under the Gospel of God's grace. So we should not apply the blessings and curses of Deuteronomy directly to Christians.

This blog is to help us focus on the Gospel. So my main question is:
Has the good news of Jesus Christ changed the way that we think about money and giving?
