Tithing is a consecration, something you have set aside unto God. Its not a requirement. Similar to the Nazarite Vow like Paul did in Acts or voluntary fasting or sexual celebicy which is mentioned in the epistles as consecrations.

If you keep it that context it makes those who tithe feel positive about what they do without making them a "better" christian than those who don't tithe. Its a personal decision.
