Relax. I have no plans to make a sales pitch or tearful plea for cash. We’re not going to turn off the lights or stop giving to missions. Members of Grace Covenant have a history of profound generosity. But just like serving, Bible study and prayer are all significant keys to our growth in God – so is tithing. While our tithes do support a corporate cause, the practice of tithing is a deeply intimate act of worship, surrender and trust.
The word “tithe” literally means one-tenth and involves the practice of giving the first of our earnings back to God. We see this practiced throughout scripture and even commanded through the law in the Old Testament. Free from the law, we now have the great privilege of offering our tithes in response to His love, not driven by law.
