These two words are often spoken in the same breath...but what's the difference between them? "Tithe" literally means "tenth" or 10 percent. A tithe is the first 10% of your income. An offering is anything you give in addition to 10%. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 14:23 (Living Bible):
"The purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives..."
Tithing is a reminder that God is the supplier of everything we have. It is also God's personal invitation to experience an outpouring of his blessing in each of our lives. In Malachi 3:10, God essentially says:
"Go ahead. I dare you. See if you can out-give me!"
