This being my first post on this blog, I wanted to share with you the blessings associated with tithing.
The Bible instructs us to tithe (10 percent), of our income. We should give 10 percent of our first fruits to the church. In order to receive, you must give. It's all very simple and it is indeed a great blessing.
Our first fruits simply means that it should be 10 percent of our gross pay --before taxes are taken out. At first this idea may sound overwhelming. For many that 10 percent sounds quite a bit especially when you consider it to come from the gross amount rather than take home pay. It seems that so many of us live from paycheck to paycheck struggling to make ends meet. You may ask yourself, "How am I going to give what I really do not have?" A better question should be, "Why haven't I taken the time to give before?"
