I believe Tithing is a principal not a commandment and transcends Old and New testaments.
What under the Law wwas hard to do, Grace empowers us to do.
I heard this preached on just a week or so ago, and the speaker said that satan wants to keep us under the ways of the world, or captive to the babylonian way of doing things, and God wants to set us free.
By giving God's way, we are released from Babylon, our finance is released from the worlds way and set to do God's will.
It is a very good way of looking at it.
However I am not perfect in this yet, God still has work to do in me as sometimes likes us all, I get into fear and worry over finance, but it is a learning curve, as I place my trust in Him, He has promised to provide.
Hallelujah.
