Let’s Worship God With Our Tithe And An Offering A tithe is 10% of your income. An offering is any amount you give over and above that amount. Tithing is God’s minimum standard, the starting point! As God prospers you, you will want to give more. Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken to-gether, and running over. Luke 6:38.
