For many years I felt that as long as we gave 10 percent of what we had to the needs of others that we met Gods request. Reciently it was impressed opon our hearts that this should be given to his church also. We are not yet at the full 10 percent to his church but are working towards that goal. We also continue to give to others in need and have decided that although it could be counted as a tith we believe we are being called to do more. I believe that God our Father is also calling on us for this as he wants his chuch to be as strong as possible for what lays ahead. God bless, pickles
