By S.L. M axw ell-Robles According to vocabulary.com, " Tit he" comes from the Ol d Engl ish word teogotha, which means ?tenth.? I remember when I first got saved and started going to church. I had always heard of and knew about tithing, but I did not know how much it was. I remember calling one of my good friends and asking her how much tithes were and she responded "10% ". I loved that answer! I remember thinking like how perfect is that, and it totally seemed to me just like God to set the tithe at an amount relatively simple for just about anyone to figure out, regardless of your mathematical background. Although I was no budding mathematician, that number set well with me because I knew if I eared $100, then $10 was the amount of tithes that I owed, and not to be confused with, nor include as part of the free will "offering", which are in fact two separates payments, altogether.
