Malachi 3 : 8 teaches us how we would be robbing God by not giving our tithes and offerings. the purpose is that they would be meat in the store house to help others and to receive blessings greater than what you have given. Matt 23 :23 refers back to the law of tithing. Not only in material means but spiritual as well. Your support to your church is necessary so that their would meat in house of the Lord. To give spiritual awareness of Jehovah and His son Jesus , the Christ; to make sure that those in need may be blessed , and to be ministered to their needs through your support to your church. To maintain the place of gathering for Jesus sake. This is a short statement to support your local church , by tithes and offerings , and time and devotions, a place of holiness for the congregation to grow .

I have never heard this term used, but if it has been it is because the churches contrained windows that told the stories of the bible.
