The words tithe, tithes, or tenth when speaking of biblical giving occur nearly _____________ times in the Bible.

A tithe is one _______________ of your income given to God as an act of obedience.

Acts 4:34-35                                     1 Corinthians 16:1-2

In Christ it is not what you know or what you do, it is Who you know and what He can do through you if you ______________ your life back to Him!
