Tithe...

I believe that those who love God and God's people should tithe without a doubt. In the Old Testament times their liveliehood was their crops and cattle and other animals and so forth, so it was fit for them to give 10% of their livelihood in that time. This was so that the storehouse would be plentiful and well supplied for the people of God. It is also a sign that you are not consumed or "owned" by the natural things that have no eternal significance.

Now our livelidhood today is $$$$ money. Therefore, we should bring our tithe into the "storehouse" or "church building" that you are committed too. It my sincere advice for Christians of any particular ministry that they are giving too, to make sure that that ministry is committed to God and His infallible Word. This so that you can be confident that the "church building" or "storehouse" is acting in obedience to the word of God in how they handle the money that is brought in and that they are being good stewards of what they have received from the people of God in obedience to giving.

With all of that said, think about this.... God wants YOU much more than your MONEY. Giving your money is reflection that you are not bound by worldly riches and/or possessions. But are YOU giving 10% of your God given days to Him?? 2 hours and 40 minutes. And remember that is just the required tithe! What about offering?
