Do you tithe?

Time of the year when my church is in their stewardship push. My wife and I can't get on the same page. I'm a fan of trying to do the 10% but wife wants to give considerably less than that.

We give consistently every month… But we don’t tithe by definition....

We try to give on a consistent basis. It may not be much, and I will admit it is not 10%.

What type of church.
I hope it's not one of those where the pastor has 3 helicopters.
Im not a fan of tithing.

We give a consistent amount each month, but it's not even half a percent of our income. Now that I've calculated it, I feel a little cheap.
But the Catholic church has enough money.
More power to you brother. Is your church one of those super churches?

Episcopalian.
My wife was laid off on maternity leave and is only working Part time so it is kind of making it hard to come up with a good solid number.

We do but it’s not 10% to the church. Although I consider other charitable donations and even my taxes to be included towards that 10% in which I give a good bit more than double.

Maybe that's the way i should look at it too.

We give the same amount every month and we do so cheerfully. We don’t miss it and we trust that our church is a good steward of God’s resources.
I’ve thought several times about asking this question here before, but the bottom line is that this is a decision between you, your wife, and God.

Absolutely. Best financial decision you'll ever make.

We don't tithe.
But we ask the church what events are going on and ask if anything needs sponsoring.
Then we can pick and choose exactly what our money is going towards to help and know that it is helping individuals.
We had a couple of things sponsored for us when we were in a different money situation and it meant a ton. So we decided to do the same.

No. But then again, I would have serious qualms about joining any church that would have me as a member.

Giving 10% or MONEY(tithe) is not scriptural, just as someone being paid to preach isnt(Matt. 10:8;9). Donating what you can? There is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately MOST churches and clergy are all about bringing in the money.

10% of income, yes, but not just the church. Consistent amount each month and special offerings as they arise.

we give to a bunch of things in addition to our church. I have been feeling more and more like the baseline should be 10% to church and other giving on top. My problem is my employer matches the first 10k but not for churches so I prefer to give to organizations that can get a match.

Yes. Tithing is about the heart not the money. If you don't feel comfortable tithing at your church you should find a different one. Why would you trust your soul somewhere you don't trust your money?
