A few thoughts on Stewardship:

Give with the right attitudes
We're to give willingly. 2 Corinthians 9:12 "For if the willingness is there, your gift is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don't have." 1 Corinthians 9:7 "Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under pressure."

Give joyfully. "God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

Give generously. 2 Corinthians 8:3-4 "They gave as much as they were able and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service."

Give expectantly. "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will reap generously." 2 Corinthians 9:6

The key to giving
"They first gave themselves to the Lord." 2 Corinthians 8:5

If God owns me, He's going to own my wallet. If He doesn't own my heart, He doesn't own my wallet. I need to first give myself to the Lord.

Father, I know You love me and want what's best or me. I recognize that all I have, or ever will have, comes from You. I am more interested in pleasing You than in having possessions. I want You to have first place in my life and I am willing to begin tithing as You have commanded. Out of gratitude for all You've done for me and in expectation that You will continue to provide for me, I commit myself to returning at least the first 10% of all I earn back to You. I want to begin investing for eternity. Help me to remain faithful to this commitment. In Jesus' name, Amen.

What is tithing?
Giving a tithe is giving ten percent of my income.

    
What's the difference between a tithe and an offering?
An offering is anything I give in addition to my tithe.
 
Why should I tithe?
Tithing demonstrates that God has first place in my life. Deuteronomy 14:23 "The purpose of tithing is to teach you to always put God in first place in your life."

Tithing reminds me that everything was given to me by God. Deuteronomy 8:18 "Always remember that it is the Lord your God who gives you the ability to produce wealth."

Tithing expresses my gratitude to God for the blessings He's given me. Psalm 116:12 asks: "How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?" The answer -- Deuteronomy 16:17 "Each of you should bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you."
