Just a note on tithing...I discussed this with my boyfriend, and he says the word "tithe" means or comes from ten, so it's supposed to be a tenth, even by definition. Some churches require members to give a tenth, others see it as a goal to work towards. And my bf confirmed for me that the radio show did say that a tithe is supposed to be a tenth of ALL your income, which you separate out before you do anything else, including paying bills and whatnot.
