Tithes and offerings can be a tricky subject to discuss in a culture where there are so many scams and fraudulent behavior, but the church and ministries cannot function without them. The key to giving is to start with prayer and end with prayer. Ask God what you should give and to whom. Then, when you give, pray over the gift itself that God will bless it for His glory.
