Do you pay tithes, and or offerings? Or do you give at all?
I save 10% of what God blesses me with and put it in an envelope and give to this church I go to once a month, and if I ever run into one of our brothers struggling or lacking I'll give to him. In my heart I give it too the Lord.

Here is what Jesus has shown me abouttithing.
(Mark12: 43-44) “A poor widow came and put in two smallcoins, the equivalent of a penny. Thenhe called his disciples and said to them, ‘I tell you solemnly, this poor widowhas put more in than all who have contributed to the treasury; for they haveall put in money they had over, but she from the little she had has put ineverything she possessed, all she had to live on.”
(Matthew 6:19) “Do not store up for yourselves treasures onearth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
(Luke 12:33) “Sell your possessions and give alms. Get yourselves purses that do not wear out,treasure that will not fail you, in Heaven where no thief can reach it and nomoth destroy it. For where yourtreasure is, there will your heart be also.”
(Luke 14:33) “So in the same way, none of you can be mydisciple unless he gives up all his possessions.”
(Luke 12:16-20) “Then he told them a parable: ‘there was once a rich manwho, having had a good harvest from his land, thought to himself, “What am I todo? I have not enough room to store mycrops.” Then he said,” This is what I will do: I will pull down my barns andbuild bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them, and I will sayto my soul: My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years tocome; take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time”. But God said to him, “Fool! This verynight the demand will be make for your soul; and this hoard of yours, whosewill it be then?”
