But first and foremost, before you pay your rent, or your electric bill, or go grocery shopping to buy formula and diapers.. pay the church first! (on your before tax income.. the REAL faithful pay 10 - 15% on their Gross income, the less faithful pay on their NET) |
Is it 10% of your gross paycheck or 10% of your worth. I heard the term "self worth" used before. That could mean cash, in-kind donations of materials or time, or talent that can be donated to the church. One might not be able to afford to fork over cash to the church but they might be a good handyman and be able to donate time and talent by helping to maintain the building and grounds of the church. That has cash value.
