I have my own Biz. and due to when I pay myself I tithe monthly. I know some do every week. I know an elderly lady who does it yearly, but before you bash her, it is well in the 7 digits! (nice):)

We do it after we get paid - sometimes it's every week, sometimes every other depending on how the pay stubs work out.
 
My primary job pays monthly so we tithe monthly. I have to do this because I am not very good with money and it is easier for me just to sit down at the end of the month and figure it all out.

My wife and I also follow (more or less) the Festival Tithe.
 
We lay aside on the first day of the week.
Some think this is ideal, but,for some of us due to our occupations, must use alternate plans.:2cents:


That is fine dear brother. We must do what we have to!
:handshake: I agree! I feel what is important is that we ,set aside gifts to God through the local Church. Having served on Vestry 2 times I can say it comes out the same, that is when I was on a board looking at the Churches books, we dealt mostly with Monthly and Yearly items in regard to our budget.:2cents:

As soon as I get paid monthly we write the cheque. Then it is done, and we cannot forget, or spend it by mistake !?!

26x each year (although my wife and I work for different organizations, each one is on the same two week pay cycle).
 
I do not tithe - I give freewill offerings as the Lord leads and provides.

Perhaps this should be a new thread, but I have often heard about people who give 'as the Lord leads'. Could you elaborate on how this works? How exactly does the Lord lead? Is it some kind of movement in the heart? Is it when your church expresses a specific need?

Yes and other ways - we help individuals, missionaries, ministries as they need through designated giving, etc...the Lord has been faithful to direct and enable us in these matters as we trust in Him.

Tithing removes this difficulty; we give God His 10% and so what we do with the rest is our business - no one else has a right to dictate how we spend our money after we render to God His tax. Tithing, therefore, removes guilt-manipulation.
 
O.K. my 2 cents - tithes? Freewill offerings are the order of the day. I couldn't poll. I'll have to get some Dems to say I was dis-enfranchised. :worms: :popcorn:

So does discernment. :)

I would rather have an objective standard to go by, rather than trust in my own discernment.

True discernment is objective - based on the Word and Spirit of Truth. :)

Romans 14:4-6

4Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

6He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

2 Corinthians 9:7
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
