What is tith?

ing

Tithing is the practice of giving a percentage of one's income, usually 10%, to support a religious institution or community. The practice is rooted in the Biblical principle of giving to God what belongs to Him and is seen as a form of spiritual discipline and obedience to God.

Tithing is commonly practiced in many religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In Christianity, tithing is often seen as a way to support the church and its mission as well as to express gratitude to God.

In addition to financial support, tithing can also involve giving one's time, talents, and resources to serve the community and help those in need.

While tithing is considered a voluntary act of faith, some religious institutions may encourage it or even require it as part of their membership.

Tithing has been a subject of controversy and criticism, with some questioning the fairness of requiring it from those who may not be able to afford it or who do not believe in it. However, many believers feel that tithing is an important aspect of their spiritual growth and relationship with God.
