What is Wayne T. Richards's perspective on modern tithing and its spiritual implications?

Wayne T. Richards teaches that much of modern tithing has drifted far from its biblical intent and often produces bondage instead of freedom.

From the content you saw:

• Tithing in Scripture (Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy) was about produce and livestock to care for Levites and the needy, not a universal financial “tax.”
• When churches pressure people to give while their bills, food, and basic needs are ignored, that is bad stewardship and religious manipulation.
• Fear-based giving (“you’re cursed,” “you’re robbing God”) can open doors to a mindset of lack and poverty instead of trust in God’s grace.
• Unless God gives a clear instruction, your first responsibility is your household and obligations; giving should flow from love, wisdom, and freedom, not guilt.

Is there a specific situation with tithing or church teaching you are trying to sort through?
