Tithing is fundamentally an issue of the heart. Here are a few key points to consider:
1. Intent and Motivation:
The Bible emphasizes that God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Tithing should come from a place of love, gratitude, and a desire to honour God, rather than obligation or guilt.
2. Generosity and Attitude:
Tithing reflects our attitude toward money and possessions. It can foster a spirit of generosity, encouraging us to see our resources as gifts from God to be shared.
3. Trust in God:
A willingness to tithe demonstrates faith and trust that God will provide for our needs, showing that we prioritize Him over material concerns.
4. Spiritual Growth:
Engaging in tithing can lead to personal transformation, helping us develop a heart aligned with God’s purposes and values.
5. Community and Connection:
Giving fosters a sense of belonging and connection within the church community, as it reflects a commitment to the collective mission.

Ultimately, tithing is more than just a financial practice. It’s a spiritual discipline that reflects our relationship with God and our priorities in life.
