Question:
Should a school teacher, for example, making $4000 a month, and paying $1000 rent a month, pay tithe on $3000 or $4000?
Answer:
The tithe would be paid on the $4000; that is their income. Our living comes out of the nine-tenths. The ancient Hebrew did not take from his increase his living; he first honored God.
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” (Proverbs 3:9-10).
