God designed you, not to be a hoarder, but a conduit through which His generosity flows. In The Money Challenge, Art Rainer takes you on a journey to financial health. But it is not simply for the sake of financial health. The Money Challenge book was written to help experience God’s design for you and your finances.
Tithes & Offerings: Your Questions Answered
Article Summary:
- Tithing is when you give 10% of your income to your local church, and offerings are anything given beyond your tithe.
