My Tithing Experience

I just finished reading a great post yesteryear James well-nigh how tithing tin give the axe increment your income.

And it got me thinking nearly my possess personal story of when I started tithing every bit well the things that followed.

Starting to tithe

I don’t exactly remember when I started to tithe – in all probability virtually seven-8 years agone. But I do mean getting a new chore that was nearly double my previous income inwards improver to thinking, “Wow, so this is the number of tithing.”

It was a helpful lesson to me since I was, like most, skeptical about the whole thing. I had heard about all the scandals with TV preachers and kind of grew up with a cynical attitude towards giving to the church building building.

Somewhere along the line I decided to “accept a hazard” every bit good every bit attempt it out.

We have had a couple times over the years where God has wanted us to stretch our giving. The times were faith-tests that have got proved extremely valuable to us.

I recollect a fourth dimension when nosotros realized, due to an mistake on my ingredient, that nosotros hadn’t been tithing the right sum.

Once I concur upwardly figured it out how much it was supposed to exist, I speedily realized that if nosotros did that our expenses would locomote greater than our income. That’s never a expert thing 😉

I remember praying amongst my married adult adult female and telling God that if He really can do what His news says, then it will all work out. We went ahead and started tithing the correct amount, not knowing where the rest of the money was going to come from to pay the bills. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that the NEXT DAY, my boss called me into her office to tell me about a completely unexpected raise that she was giving me. The raises normally only came once a year and this was way off the schedule. Guess how much it was for. Yep, it was almost the exact amount of the difference. I must say that experience was a strong encouragement for my organized faith.

Does anyone agree whatever skilful testimonies from their experiences tithing?
