Often, Christians dismiss the teaching of the Bible concerning tithing. They think tithing is not necessary under the New Testament. Christ taught to give as you have been blessed, or as we call it, "Proportional Giving". It may result in giving far more that the tenth! Think about it.
Genesis 14:20 And
blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine
enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Genesis 28:22 And
this stone, which I have set for a pillar,shall be God's
house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the
tenth unto thee.
Lev 27:30 And all
the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of
the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD.
Lev 27:31 And if
a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto
the fifth part thereof.
Lev 27:32 And
concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,even of
whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Lev 27:33 He
shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change
it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change
thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Numbers 18:21
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in
Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even
the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers 18:22
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the
tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and
die.
Numbers 18:23 But
the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it
shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that
among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:24 But
the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an
heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to
inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of
Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:26
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them,When ye take of
the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from
them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering
of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the
tithe.
Deut 12:6 And
thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices,

there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in
all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
Deut 12:17 Thou
mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy

offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:

livest upon the earth.

shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,that the field
bringeth forth year by year.
Deut 14:23 And
thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he
shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy
wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of
thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the
LORD thy God
always.
Deut 14:24 And if
the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry
it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God
shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath
blessed thee:
Deut 14:25 Then
shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine
hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose:
Deut 14:26 And
thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or
for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt
eat there before
the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou,and thine
household,

thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which
are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied;
that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine
hand which thou doest.
Deut 26:12 When
thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase
the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it
unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless,and the widow,
that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
Deut 26:13 Then
thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the
hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto
the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and
to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast
commanded me: I have not transgressed thy
commandments,
neither have I forgotten them:
Deut 26:14 I have
not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away
ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given oughtthereof for the
dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and
have done according to all that thou hast
commanded me.

down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people

Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and
said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into
the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left

that which is
left is this great store.
2 Chron 31:11
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the
LORD; and they prepared them,

faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei

Neh 10:37 And
that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough,and our
offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto

for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

and the porters;

perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given
them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were
fled every one to his field.

to receive it.

have done, and not to leave the other undone.
