Guidelines for Money Management: Tithe

  Guidelines for Money Management: Tithe
By Pastor Andre Butler
 
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Let me give you some very practical rules, guidelines to correctly managing God's money. First, when money comes and you receive your check, sit down and write out your tithe on the gross. When you write out your tithe, you get the blessing. And the blessing, as we know, will make you rich! Secondly, give a tithe to your savings account. Why is that important? Many people live check-to-check and they do not have money in the bank. When something negative happens to them financially, it quickly destroys them because they don't have any money. Your goal should be to have enough in your savings account to live in the same way that you live now for six months without income. Three months coverage is good, but six months is better because you will find another job in six months.
