Money is one of the most addressed topics in the Bible. In fact, according to multiple sources, there are over 2,000 verses that talk about money. What\u2019s interesting, though, is that only approxima<\/span>tely 15% of Christians\u00a0<\/span>actually tithe<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the disconnect? If the topic of money, particularly being generous, is so important to God that the Bible touches on it literally thousands of times, why aren\u2019t believers participating in giving?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important for the Church to receive tithes and offerings because these are what help the doors stay open. These monies are also used to further advance God\u2019s Kin<\/span>gdom here on earth.<\/span>\u00a0But above all else, God calls His people to give.<\/span>\u00a0Below are some tips to help turn those in your congregation\u00a0<\/span>who are<\/span>\u00a0non-givers into consistent tithers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Educate the congregation about the<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>biblical principles behind giving and tithing<\/span><\/b>. Sometimes, people just don\u2019t understand that being generous is\u00a0<\/span>actually being<\/span>\u00a0more like Christ. He\u00a0<\/span>gave\u00a0<\/span><\/i>so that we could have eternal life. God is our provider.\u00a0<\/span>So<\/span>\u00a0everything we have is from Him. Sharing God\u2019s heart behind giving and even expressing some of those thousands of Scriptures can help make a difference for somebody who is apprehensive about tithing. When people learn that giving is an act of worship in response to who God is, they may begin to realize that it\u2019s less about the church it\u2019s being given to and more about the heart behind the action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Explain where funds are going<\/span><\/b>\u00a0and<\/span><\/b>\u00a0why their gift makes a difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>One of the main setbacks preventing peo<\/span>p<\/span>le from consistently tithing is they feel like the<\/span>\u00a0church is going to misuse their funds.\u00a0<\/span>When pastors and leaders are upfront about where the gifts are being used, attendees may feel led to contribute to those campaigns. Are they going towards a new building? Helping to feed the homeless? Starting a new\u00a0<\/span>outreach ministry? When the congregation sees a\u00a0<\/span>mission<\/span>\u00a0they are passionate about, it can help spark generosity in their hearts. When they know that their gift will make a difference in the church and\/or community, they\u2019re more likely to get behind it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make giving convenient.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>One way we\u2019ve\u00a0<\/span>witnessed<\/span>\u00a0an increase\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>consistent tithes is when the\u00a0<\/span>ability to give is easy and convenient.\u00a0<\/span>Most<\/span>\u00a0people no longer carry cash or checks with them to put in the offering plate. By\u00a0<\/span>providing multiple avenues to give<\/span><\/a>, such as online giving, text to give,\u00a0<\/span>through an app, or with kiosks, more will be willing to\u00a0<\/span>contribute<\/span>\u00a0consistently since it\u2019s readily available at their fingertips, anywhere, anytime. They don\u2019t have to only give on Sunday anymore, they can give\u00a0<\/span>any day of the week.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Provide the option for people to sign up for recurring giving.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Along with the convenience of giving online, set\u00a0up\u00a0<\/span>recurring giving<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for your congregation so they\u00a0<\/span>can give automatically without having to remember to bring their tithe on Sundays. They can set up a recurring pay<\/span>ment as frequent as they want, such as after they receive each paycheck or once a month. And since it\u2019s recurring, it makes it even easier because each person doesn\u2019t have to\u00a0<\/span>reset the parameters each time they give.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to giving, it boils down to trust<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Does the giver (or non-giver) trust that God will provide, even if they tithe? Do they trust the church will utilize the gifts appropriately? And even if the<\/span>\u00a0church doesn<\/span>\u2019t, do they trust that God will still have His way<\/span>? When you can soften the gap that hinders this trust, you\u2019ll see tithing increase.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
