Giving is a vitally important aspect of the Christian life. Traditionally, the Church asks that we tithe (give 10% of our income) as a way to ensure that we are contributing to the mission of Christ.
In addition to it being a very important part of the Christian life, providing for the needs of the church is one of the precepts of the Church.
Watch Jackie talk about what it means to tithe and to provide for the Church.
Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
- 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
