Yes, tithing is not only acceptable but is strongly affirmed and required according to Ellen G. White's writings. Here are key points from her books that confirm this: - Tithing is a divine requirement: “Every church member should feel under obligation to consecrate his tithe to God... The requirement is: ‘Honor the Lord with thy substance.’” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 481.2) - The tithe is God’s reserved portion, to be used for the support of the ministry and the advancement of the gospel: “He has reserved the tithe as His sacred portion to be used in sending the gospel to all parts of the world.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 51.3) - The tithing system is of divine origin, simple, and equitable: “God's plan in the tithing system is beautiful in its simplicity and equality. All may take hold of it in faith and courage, for it is divine in its origin.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 388.4) - Tithing predates Moses and was practiced by patriarchs like Abraham and Jacob: “The tithing system reaches back beyond the days of Moses... Abraham... gave tithes to Melchizedek...” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 393.1) - The tithe is to be returned willingly, not by compulsion: “God does not compel men to give. All that they give must be voluntary.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 393.1) - Withholding tithe is considered robbing God and brings consequences: “Those who have thought that to withhold from God is gain will eventually experience His curse as the result of their robbery of the Lord.” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 4, p. 475.3) - The tithe is still to be used for the support of the ministry and not diverted to other purposes: “God has not changed; the tithe is still to be used for the support of the ministry.” (Gospel Workers, p. 227.2) - Even small offerings, such as those from children or the poor, are acceptable and pleasing to God if given with the right spirit: “The offerings of little children may be acceptable and pleasing to God... their gifts are wholly acceptable to God...” (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 3, p. 412.1) In summary, tithing is not only acceptable but is a clear biblical and spiritual duty, affirmed as a means of supporting God’s work and demonstrating faithfulness and gratitude to Him.
