WHAT IS A TITHE?

A tithe is a simple, biblical approach to giving. Literally meaning “tenth,” it’s the practice of giving a tenth of what we earn to God. We see this with Abraham (Genesis 14:20), with offerings at the Temple (2 Chronicles 31:5), in Malachi 3, and other places in scripture as well. It’s an act of worship that we still practice today. 

Ask anyone who gives, and they’ll tell you the same thing: that God has blessed them. Although giving a tenth of what you earn can be challenging, God rewards those who faithfully give. In Malachi 3, God said to His people regarding the tithe, “‘…and to and test Me now in this,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.”
