As a person who gives to the Chruch but does not tithe (Give 10 Percent of pre-tax income and all new gains). I have been chastized (and I am not saying this was wrong) by my clergy for not doing so. They pointed to scripture and said it was required or I was stealing from God.
So I would like to know your experiences fellow believer.
Is tithing giving 10% (of pretax) income?
Does all the money have to go to the church you attend? I'd like to give to a local shelter also.
If you started tithing how did things change? Finances, spiritual walk?
I am giving consideration to tithing, but I think I will give some of my offering to my church, and some elsewhere.
