What the Bible teaches about giving |
What Is A Tithe?
The Bible teaches that Christians ought to “tithe” but what is a tithe and how is that different from an offering? The word tithe literally means one tenth. Scripture teaches that believers are to give the first tenth of what they earn to God. “‘A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD. (Leviticus 27:30, NIV). An offering is anything above and beyond the tithe that you give to the Lord. Why should believers give?
Scripture teaches that when we give, our character matches God’s character more (John 3:16), materialism has less of a grip on our lives (Luke 16:13), it makes a difference in the lives of other people (2 Corinthians 9:11), and it proves that we love other more than we love our money (1 Timothy 6:10), and that we fully trust God to meet all our physical needs (Phillippians 4:19). What happens to my money when I give?
We take financial stewardship very seriously. Our financial practices, monthly and annual budget reports are available in the church office to anyone interested in receiving them. As a church we are committed to giving and give a minimum of 10% of our income to mission ministries outside of Durango Christian Church. We constantly evaluate our budget to insure that all our funds are being used to further the mission of Durango Christian Church.
