Section 1: Key Financial Questions
Tithe means “tenth,” and it symbolizes a test in the Bible.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” Malachi 3:10 NIV
Financial Principle of Faith
Tithing is more than just giving — it’s an act of faith and gratitude. By dedicating a portion of your income, you’re not only supporting a greater purpose but also reinforcing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity.
Many find that tithing fosters financial discipline and cultivates a spirit of trust. Tithing seems to shift the focus from fear of lack to confidence in provision, reinforcing the belief that giving leads to greater spiritual, relational, and financial blessings.
When approached with sincerity, tithing isn’t just an obligation; it becomes an investment in both faith and financial stewardship.
Your gross income x 10% = Tithe amount
Tithing is a deeply personal decision, so it’s important to seek wisdom and guidance in prayer as you determine what is right for you. Many choose to tithe from the very beginning of their wealth-building journey, but others may begin when they feel more financially secure. Wherever you are on your path, the heart behind the gift matters more than the amount. Tithing can become a consistent act of gratitude and trust, and be an intentional reminder that all we have is a blessing.
