We had lots of financial problems, some caused by poor management on my part. We were taught and believed that if we gave God the first 10 percent plus offerings He would meet all our needs. We wound up filing bankruptcy while tithing.
I have since come to the conclusion that according to
Mark 7:9-13 and
1 Timothy 5:8 it is wrong to pay tithes before meeting your family's needs.
