The Tithe
The word "tithe" literally means tenth or 10%. The principle of tithing, or giving ten percent of your income, is far different from the law of tithing. Tithing was part of the Old Testament Law, but as Christians, we are no longer under the Law, we are under grace. Giving is a part of God’s of the overall plan of God, but it is never intended to be an obligation or duty. Instead, it is to be a normal way of life for those whose spirits have been born anew by the Holy Spirit of God. Like Abraham who instituted it, the principle of tithing existed long before the Law came into existence. The coming of the Holy Spirit freed those who are in Christ Jesus from the restrictions of the Law that they might live in the fullness of the Spirit. The primary fruit of the Spirit is love. The reason believers tithe today is not because we are demanded to do so by the Law, but because we are moved to do so by love. The Law came by Moses, but the love of God was shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
Beyond the Tithe
"Beyond the tithe" is anything you give beyond 10%. In Malachi 3:10, God says "Go ahead. I dare you. See if you can out-give me." Beyond the tithe is a chance for you to be extravagantly generous. You can give additional gifts to the South Jersey Dream Center or make a General Donation. So go ahead, prove and experience God's generosity!
