Stewardship Note:  Sometimes people wonder about the Biblical benchmark for financial giving.  Scripture teaches a concept called the “tithe.” It means that within the understanding that all believers should give regularly, proportionally, and sacrificially- a minimum of 10% of our income should be donated to institutions or activities which advance the Kingdom of God.
