I admire you for this. I can not one-up you on this matter.
I am not trying to one-up anyone. I haven’t always tithed as much.
I go to a small church and there just aren’t many tithing. I am concerned the church wouldn’t make it without me and a few others.
Several in the church are allowed to come over from the local jail. They wear their department of corrections outfits. We welcome them because they need the message too. Jesus has changed many of their lives. In fact, some have later become involved in prison ministries.
The church means a lot to me and my family. It reaches people that I am not sure would otherwise be hearing the gospel.
If you knew me, you would know I really cannot one-up many folks. I certainly don’t always do what is right.

There is much to like in your post - especially the paragraph above.
