A tithe is 10% of your income given specifically to your local church. Did you know? The word tithe literally means tenth in Hebrew. (Source)

While much has been said or written on the subject, the best place to look for sound teaching on generosity is the Bible. Both Old and New Testaments teach generosity as a way of life for God's redeemed people, not as a rote duty but as a joyful response to God's saving grace.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8
