10) It's Biblical (see Malachi 3:8-10)
9) It's an excellent way of practicing "first fruits" giving
8) It's an act of faith and trust that the Lord will always provide
7) It encourages generous giving in every other area of life
6) It ensures that God never receives the "leftovers" of your riches
5) It will make you more sensitive to the Lord's provision for you
4) It will make you more thankful for all you have been blessed with

2) Enables you to focus your attention on seeking God's kingdom and His righteousness for you
1) It's an effective way of testifying that God really does own everything you have and that you are glad to give a portion back to Him
I've never met a person yet who regretted tithing a portion of their riches to the Lord. As you consider how you support the ministry of your church, pray about giving a tenth of your wealth to the Lord. Ask the Lord for the faith and confidence to follow through.
