Tithing is giving. Giving back to God what He has given you!
How much should you give? Can you give while you’re in debt or not making much money? If you’ve got questions about tithes and offerings, you’re not alone. Let’s dig in so you can experience the joy of giving!
A tithe is 10% of your income given specifically to your local church.
A tithe is a specific amount (10% of your income) that you give first, and an offering is anything extra that you give beyond that.
The Bible tells us that tithing is a way to show that we trust God with our lives and our finances.
Do you believe the Bible is true? Then yes, tithing 10% specifically is biblical as dictated by the Old Testament.
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. – Malachi 3:8-10
