Sacrifices: Tithes And Offerings

God has given us so much-we cannot even begin to comprehend His generosity. Every breath, every step, every waking moment is a gift, and the faithful among us thank Him every day in prayer. However, there are other ways to thank God for all He has given us. Tithes and offerings have been customary since ancient times, yet they have fallen out of practice in recent years. In Sacrifices, author Averil Burke-St. Marthe revisits the practice of tithing and examines its role in modern worship. A tithe involves giving your church 10 percent of your talent, 10 percent of your time, and 10 percent of your gross income. Burke-St. Marthe argues that such sacrifices can help bring others into God's embrace and strengthen the bonds of community. There was a time when Averil Burke-St. Marthe made no offerings. The money and time she would have given to God instead went toward shopping, and she suffered because of it. Over time, she came to realize that 10 percent is but a humble gift for a God who has given her everything.
