Personal Financial Planning

As a christian, the first thing I do when I receive my salary from my employer is set aside 10% of it to God. We called it tithe. It is neither expenses nor offering. It is not expense in church to gain people favor. It is not offering to church or God to gain God favor neither. Tithe is belonged to God. It is simply belonged to Him. Why it is belong to Him? Actually, everything on earth is God creation. It is His belonging. He bless us on the work of our hand. And command us to give back 10% of our production back to Him. If we don't, it is stealing.

(Leviticus 27:30) A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.

Dear Burger

The money is belongs to God. It is belongs to His house which is the church. The church can use it as they like.
