I use to look at tithing as giving to the Church. I finally realized that tithing is giving to God. It was a difficult thing to start doing regularly, but I did start and have been consistent for a while now. I did have a revelation a couple of weeks ago though. I get paid every two weeks. I would split my 10% and give half one week and the other half the next week. It hit me a couple of weeks ago… “Why don’t I just give the whole 10% the Sunday after payday”? I now give that every two weeks. I realized I was holding onto half of God’s money for a whole extra week. Why let that just sit in the bank for an extra week?
Anyway, I heard once that if every Christian would give 10%, it would be enough money to solve the world hunger problem. I would much rather be part of the solution than part of the problem.
