>>We tithe. We’re Baptist.<<

I think that’s great! A question though: If you give eleven percent, do you still call it tithing?

No. That's moving into donation territory.

[ImProudToBeAnAmerican]

All giving over 10% is considering offerings.

Tithe + special offerings

The more you give, the more favor you enjoy.

I was always heard that 10% was a tithe, anything above that was an offering.

2nd Corinthians 8:1-24 talks about giving. Paul does not talk about tithing, but of giving and sharing among the churches. If one has particular abundance, share with those who do not at the moment, because circumstances could change. And those who were in need would become the abundant ones. And could then share their abundance to lesser churches. Tithing is part of the Old Testament Law. And we are not under the Law, but under Grace. Tithing is found in the OT, Matthew, Luke, and Hebrews. The dispensation of the Law.

A tithe is a tenth. Anything else is an offering.

Malachi tells us to give both.

If you give 20%, that would be “venting.” :-)

[Rightly Biased]

The first 10% is what God wants back anything over that is an offering and is a sweet aroma to Him.
