Tithing and the Economy
Do you tithe? And if so, how much? I don’t mean a total amount but a percentage. Does it change as the economy changes or do you tithe first? For us, we tithe first and then pay our bills with all else. We believe this is what the bible tells us to do. Is it difficult? At times, yes. We don’t really do any extraneous purchases and it seems like we are having trouble making it at the end of the month. I have done what I can to earn additional income as a stay at home mom. We haven’t gone so far as to alter what we do but to watch and cut back where we can. I called the Internet Company and got our monthly payments lowered. You might consider Internet access a luxury item but given my husband is a computer programmer and can work from home and I was a college professor who taught online and can again, the Internet is essential to our work. The next bills I am going to look at are our phone and cable. We may do away with cable. But for now, we will continue to tithe first, pay bills second. I wonder if the economy will hurt the churches?
