The Bible tells us in Mal 3:10-12, "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts."

The Bible also informs us in Luke 6:38, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

By giving we show our gratitude to God for our blessings and our resolve to trust in HIM rather than in carnal things. Tithes also help further the work of the Lord in the church and community as a whole and finally serves as a blessing to God’s children providing the opportunity to learn of Him and grow in the gospel.
