Tithing Is Not Giving

This bold statement was made last Sunday, "Tithing is not giving!" This idea flies in the face of how many perceive tithing. After all, don't those who make enough money in America list their "tithe" as a charitable contribution to reduce their tax burden? We cheer when it's time to give our tithe in the service because God loves a cheerful giver. Despite the impulse to consider tithing giving, I would have to agree. Tithing is not giving.
