WHAT MAKES TITHING EASY? AND, WHAT MAKES IT HARD?

The best known factoid about tithing is that it stands for the giving of ten percent – usually of the “net” or “profit” from one’s business or other income source. However, the meaning of tithing or stewardship, as it is sometimes called, includes the giving of 10 percent of one’s time, talent and treasure.

In the past, we may have found it comparably easy to commit time and talent to service. As Marcus Bach* reminds, our giving should go all the way up to—and past—our “hip pockets” (i.e., “the coin of the realm”, as Bach describes it) to include a tenth of our money.
