What are the benefits of tithing?
Tithing carries mutiple facets that will benefit your life. Number 1, God commands it and any time we take God at His word we are using faith, and faith can move mountains. God promises to “open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing on you”. In the book of Matthew, Jesus tells us that if we look after God’s Kingdom first, that He will provide for our physical needs. Also, in this country, when you give to a not-for-profit organization (which Shoreline Church is!) you receive a tax benefit. At the end of the year Shoreline Church will provide you with records of the total amount you have given over the year, and when you file your taxes your charitable donations are tax deductible. And last, but not least, when you decide to become a percentage giver you create margin in your life. By choosing to live on a lesser percentage of your income, when difficult situations and circumstances arise that margin will carry you through.
