Why we give?
We give out of obedience to Scripture, we give out of a sense of gratitude, and we give in the knowledge that God will use our temporary, finite resources to build an eternal, infinite Kingdom. We give to impact that will last forever.
How we give?
The Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, we put God first in our lives. In Malachi 3:10, the Bible tells us to bring the first 10% (tithe) of your income into the storehouse (church). Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others. The Bible gives us permission to test God in only one area – tithing. His promise for those who do it is blessing!
