What if I can’t afford to tithe right now?
There are different seasons in our financial lives and, in any stage, generosity requires prayerful and thoughtful planning so as to give without neglecting our legal and/or personal financial obligations. For some people, 10% is too low a starting point. For others, giving even 5% is a sacrifice.
If 10% is financially unachievable for you right now, we encourage you to:
Pray. Ask God what He is calling you to give.
Set tithing as a future generosity goal (perhaps next year or the following).
Get as close to 10% as you are able.
Start! The first step can be the hardest. See what God will do as you step out in faith.
