[quote=Anonymous]I am the person who gave the story about my parents income multiplying when they tithed. It isn't about prosperity gospel, absolutely not.  I absolutely tithe because God says to tithe, and yes, I know that tithing is no guarantee of future blessings.  Tithing does not equal multiplied income.

However I shared that story with the OP because I wanted to encourage her to have faith that God would take care of her family.  I have seen these blessings over and over in many families who have chosen to tithe.  Often in the church these encouragements are not shared because we don't talk about money, and we don't talk about the impacts we've seen in our lives that have occurred from tithing.  I am not saying that future blessings are a given, but I do think He honors our putting Him first.  But bottom line, yes, we tithe out of obedience, not out of expectation for future blessings.  In my mind, you start by tithing, and you save/live of what is left.

And yes, like the other PP said, if you are at a place where 10% would completely put you underwater, then maybe you tithe 5% and maybe the next year you do 6%, and so forth.  [/quote]
