2 Corinthians 9:7

 

“Much has been said about giving a tenth of one’s income to the Lord. I think this is a Christian duty that none should for a moment question. If it were a duty under the Jewish law, much more is it so now, under the Christian dispensation. But it is a great mistake to suppose the Jews only gave a tenth; they gave much more than that. The tenth was the payment they must make, but after that came all the freewill offerings, all the various gifts at different seasons of the year. We are not to make an estimate of what will appear respectable or by what is expected of us by other people. We are to give as God has prospered us.”               -Charles Haddon Spurgeon
