She drilled it into us boys (especially) that YOU TAKE CARE OF THE WAITRESS ....because she explained a LOT of our Christmases were because of her tips.
I've been using 15% since forever and am not swayed by any influence to go higher.
God doesn't want any more than ten.
“God doesn’t want any more than ten.”
————————————————————————————————-
A tithe is 10%, tithe literally is the translation of one tenth.
God requires the “first fruits” of everything. A tithe is the standard or the requirement.
A tithe is not an offering. A tithe is our baseline giving of income as Bible believing Christians. An offering is not a tithe. It is giving beyond the tithe as one can and is lead by his conscience by applying God precepts and principles to his life.
I wouldn’t say God doesn’t want more than a tithe since the Bible never sets that as a limit only as a minimum.
As I have made more money over my Christian life I have been able to give a larger portion.
I also do not want to impede on anyone’s liberty in the faith.
You need to give a tithe but you need to follow the prompting of the Spirit in giving of offerings.
I always tip 15% no matter what. If I get good service I tip 18-20%, if I get exceptional service I may tip 25%.
