How Do I Give?

First, we are to bring our gifts into his storehouse, which is the church in the New Testament. We are to give our gifts wherever we regularly worship the Lord—not only to care for the church building and those who work there but also to support the expansion of his kingdom by spreading the gospel and ministering to the community for his name’s sake (see 2Co 9:7–14).

Second, we are to make our gifts on a regular basis. In this way, we make our obedience to God a consistent practice and have a constant reminder of his lordship and provision in our life.

Third, choosing to obey God by tithing our income indicates the level of our faith in him. When we obey him, we are essentially saying, “Lord, I trust you for every need I have.”
