Tithe belongs to God. It should go to Lord's house. The best idea is to put entire amount in front of God and pray and take the remaining 90%. He will bless your effort and increase it 2 fold, 3 fold, 5 fold, 10 fold, 20 fold, 60 fold and much much more. The first impression I had of taking tithe off salary was when my father took out Rs. 500 from his Rs. 5000 salary and gave it to the pastor. He then knelt in prayer when the pastor was praying for him. He did it everytime, when there was abundance and in times of need, health and sickness. We never wanted! Today his tithe is many times more than his salary at that time.

Why don't you try? Jesus neither lies nor fails! Did you experience something like this?
