In Malachi 3:10-11, God says to test His faithfulness by returning the first 10% of our income to Him. This is called the tithe.

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. – Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
What is a tithe?A tithe is the Biblical concept of giving away 10% of your income, an idea that was instituted thousands of years ago as a way to thank and worship God (Deuteronomy 14:22). In ancient times the tithe was a portion of whatever a person made/earned, but the principle still holds true today. Everything you have comes from God, and returning at least 10% of it to continue God’s work in the world is an act of acknowledging where it came from, what it is for, and remembering who owns it.
What is the 90-Day Giving Challenge?A “tithe challenge” is a way for us to recognize God’s promise to honor and take care of His people. In Malachi 3:10, God is in essence asking, “Don’t you think I will completely bless you and take care of you if you live on 90% of what I gave you?” By living sacrificially with your giving, you are investing in spreading the message of Jesus to the whole world. And here’s our commitment to you: If you tithe for three months and don’t see God’s blessings in your life, we will refund 100% of your tithe.
