Tithes, offerings, and donations are biblical principles rooted in acts of worship and obedience to God. The tithe, first mentioned in Genesis 14:20 and later commanded in Malachi 3:10, involves giving one-tenth of one’s income to support the work of God through the church. Offerings and donations, seen throughout Scripture (such as in Exodus 35 and Acts 4), are voluntary gifts that reflect the believer’s gratitude, love, and willingness to support others and advance God’s kingdom.
