My Husband tithes first, which is something that infuriates me. God loves a cheerful giver, and I wonder how on earth can he be cheerful giving upwards of 300.00 a month knowing his wife is worried about bills esp the rent being paid and the kids being fed. We have five kids and twins on the way. Oh and please, I know all about faith, it's wonderful, but God wants us to be wise. It's foolish to think that "well, I have enough faith that if I quit my job today, God will still make sure that my rent in this extravagant apartment witll still get paid", that is just plain foolish to me. I had to cover the rent this month because tithing came first. What is going to happen when I stop working? Please, someone, anyone, give me advice, preferbly biblical verses about whether you should always tithe first before paying your rent, or feeding your kids? Everything I've researched about tithing shows that it was done as a form of punishment for the Pharisees, not a commandment for Christians?
