For me, tithing is a necessity. Plus, it is taught in the Bible." Deuteronomy 14:22
Make an offering of ten percent, a tithe, of all the produce which grows in your fields year after year."

The first check I write is to my church, and not only is it the ten percent of my income, it is off the gross, not the net. Yes, I have written some checks to the church that I knew I would probably need later, however, God has blessed me with an excellent job, great health, a wonderful family, a wonderful church, and eternal life. To me, it is the least I can do.

Yes, it is difficult sometimes, especially if my check is small, however, God has always seen me through. He has always provided all of my needs. Not only has he provided my needs, he has also blessed me so much, that I also give to other organizations.
