A standard level for financial giving within the Christian church has often been ten percent of one’s income, which is based on Biblical examples. However, Pastor David says the most important test is giving what God wants you to give out of a cheerful heart. Therefore, the principle of ten percent is a guideline but God may call you to give and do more! Giving to the work of God is not simply a financial transaction; rather, it is meant to be a gift offered within a loving relationship.
