The word “tithe” comes from the Hebrew word meaning tenth. It is the practice of giving 10% of your earnings to the local church. The act of tithing predates the Old Testament, and we see it taught and modeled all throughout the Bible (Leviticus 27:30, Proverbs 3:9, Malachi 3:10, Matthew 23:23). Tithe is less about obedience and more about living by faith in God’s Faithfulness and provision.
