Definition:  Setting aside a tenth of what you have produced from your labor to give back for the Lord’s work.

Five reasons people don’t tithe: 
1)Don’t believe it’s a New Testament principle  (Luke 11:42)
2)One can’t bring themselves to Trust God (Lack of Faith)  (Mal. 3:10)
3)The person doesn’t fear God  (Eccl. 8:12)
4)Haven’t been taught (Ignorance)  (Prov. 3:9)
5)Money is their god (Luke 16:13)
Put God First!
Matthew 6:33
  But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
