What I really enjoyed was some concepts Pastor Mark shared (http://evotional.com/2009/10/7-tithing-tips.html) but I think you're right - we shouldn't focus on a percent - but rather on sacrificial tithing. It's always harder to put your trust in God when you can't see the end result.Meg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283528353053322814noreply@blogger.com
