Give

I have a confession.

Since Kb and I have been married, we have not tithed to a church.

I've got plenty of excuses. Primarily, I haven't known where to tithe. We've been bouncing from church to church, and we are still in a process of deciding where to land. I don't enjoy the process, but that conversation is for another day.

One of the churches that we have landed on often is big. Really big. I don't especially care for the bigness, and I get this scathing thought that they don't need our money. Really, our contribution wouldn't be much, and it seems like they have plenty.

Lately, I have felt convicted of our lack of giving. (Finally, right?) I have been praying that God would show me where to give, whether it be a church or other organization.

Yesterday, whilst going about my business, I got a nudge. I don't know what to call it. But I realized that the circumstances don't matter. The command is simple and straightforward: give ten percent. It doesn't say to give if you have a home church that you've attended for years or if your church is financially in need of your money. God commands us to give.

So give we will.
