WHY TITHE? "Tithe" simply means "one tenth of annual earnings" - specifically the first tenth of our income, given to the local church.  When we tithe, we acknowledge that God comes first.

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. -2 Corinthians 9:7 esv
