But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
(2Co. 9:6-8)

The Biblical View of Tithing:

A Biblical approach to giving is directed in part by the principle of the tithe or tenth. While this was particularly for the provision of the Priests and Levites in the Mosaic Law, the principle is also found in Jacob’s vow to the Lord (Genesis 28:20-22) and Abraham paying tithes to Melchisedec (Genesis 14:20).

While the New Testament does not speak particularly of the tithe, there is no reason to think that our level of giving should be lower. Rather, God having given us the unspeakable gift of His Son, we have an even greater motive toward liberality in giving (2 Corinthians 9).

In the Old Testament, the tithe was only part of the financial giving that believers gave to the work of the Lord. In addition, there were various offerings that addressed other needs. For example, there were additional tithes (Deuteronomy 14:22-27, 28-29) and every sacrifice was at a financial cost, offerings were made when the godly made vows to the Lord, offerings for building the tabernacle and temple (1 Chronicles 29:12-13), and freewill offerings (Leviticus 22:23, Deuteronomy 12:17).
