Many people in the church have a variety of factors that influence whether they give or not.  The decision on how much you give is usually contingent upon your beliefs, income, debt, and the various payment methods offered by your church.  Fortunately, church websites with custom designs make it possible for anyone to donate online.  According to a survey, one figure says 60% of churchgoers who tithe will give or have given online.  Does your church offer a mobile tithing solution for the congregation?

 

 

The tendency among some Christians today is to attend church when it best suits their schedule.  According to one study in 2015, approximately 247 million Americans are Christians but only 98 million say they attend church.  Yet, no more than 15 million claim they tithe.  The word tithe, tithes, or tithing is used an estimated 36 times in the Bible; 30 times in the Old Testament and just 6 times in the New Testament.

 

For some members, tithing is practiced according to the Old Testament where the amount given to the church is 10 percent of your income.  However, other members believe tithing is an old practice and follow the New Testament where the amount they give is solely up to them.  Often, debt is the limiting factor to how much someone gives to the church as statistics indicate 8 out of 10 who tithe have no credit card debt.

 

 

Church websites that offer churchgoers an option to donate online greatly increase their odds of receiving donations as web traffic increases each year.  The amount you give should always take into consideration your financial situation but to also give with your heart.  A verse in 2 Corinthians 9:7 reads, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
