The Bible asks us to give our first and our best back to God, and He will bless the rest. According to the Bible, the first is the tithe, or "tenth" of our income. We return to the Lord 10% of what He's given us, because it belongs to Him (Leviticus 27:30). In Malachi 3:10-11, God says,
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty.

The 'storehouse' is the Old Testament picture of the New Testament church. Jesus himself affirmed tithing (Matthew 23:23), and it is one small way to respond with gratitude and worship in light of Him giving His all for us.
Giving away 10% of your income can be a big - and often frightening - commitment! That's why we created the Three-Month Tithe Challenge: a money-back guarantee of sorts. Essentially, it's an agreement based on the promises of God in Malachi 3:10-11. We commit to you that if you tithe for three months and God doesn't hold true to His promises of blessings, we will refund 100% of your tithe. No questions asked.
God doesn't need our money. He owns everything. But we give first because it takes faith to give and God wants us to trust Him. Tithing is a very practical and tangible way to put God first in our lives. He tells us in Proverbs 3:9-10,
