Let’s Worship God With Our Tithe And An Offering A tithe is 10% of your income. An offering is any amount you give over and above that amount. Tithing is God’s minimum standard, the starting point!
As God prospers you, you will want to give more. “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken
together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” — Luke 6:38
