It does not take money to pay a tithe. It takes faith.

"It does not take money to pay a tithe. It takes faith."

That's a clever quote, but not quite a complete answer.

If I followed that quote to it's end, then come August/September time, I could, by faith, bring in a tenth (tithe) of my garden produce to church. That would make the offering plate kinda heavy.

I do agree with you if your imphasis is on faith and not 10%.

Sincerely

As a retiree I had to make a decision on finances when concurrent with the new drug prescription plan, changes were made in my medicare supplement plan that have increased our out-of-pocket costs by about $2000 a year.
We looked at all of our expenses, including our monthly contribution for church and decided that we had to make a change. After some prayer, instead of decreasing our giving, we increased it. "All I have needed Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me". Since then we have been blessed, not just materially, but spiritually as well.
