AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 9:16 For if I [merely] preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast about, for I am compelled [that is, absolutely obligated to do it]. Woe to me if I do not preach the good news [of salvation]! |
Bible Question (short): giving your tithe |
Question (full): I have a question regarding tithing. I received a bonus at work of several thousand dollars. I believe in giving 10 percent of the gross amount BUT does it have to go to the church I attend. Do you think it would be proper to give to other ministries? Ministries that preach the gospel, give to the poor, etc. If I give money to a poor family in my church would that be OK. Can you back up your answer with scripture? Im really struggling with this. Thanks |
