In the book of Malachi, why does God invite his people to test him when it comes to tithing? This is the only part of the Bible where God encourages people to test him. Elsewhere in scripture it is considered sinful. What did God mean? Pastor Adam and Steph break down the difference between testing the ability and character of God out of doubt versus testing the known quality of his faithfulness. God allows his people the opportunity to see that the purity of his goodness surpasses all expectations. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Malachi 3:10, Deuteronomy 6:16
