Although I had not grown up in the church, I had somehow heard the idea that Christians should give ten percent of their income. Was this a rule every Christian had to follow? And if so, how was I supposed to give the money to God? Were churches the only place to give to, or could I support other Christian organizations and nonprofits too?Only when I started to study Scripture in college, learning about Israel’s history and the difference between Israel and the church, did I realize there are many misconceptions about tithing. Sometimes people can struggle to see them though, since tithing has a long history in the church.Let us examine six misunderstandings about tithing and compare them to the teaching of Scripture.Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/doidam10 Thu, 25 Dec 2025 12:00:00 -0500 2026-01-08T03:22:50-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/finances/5-new-year-steps-to-steward-your-money-well.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/finances/5-new-year-steps-to-steward-your-money-well.html Michelle S.

Haynes Jr. https://www.crosswalk.com/author/clarence-l-haynes-jr/ The plans of the diligent lead to profitas surely as haste leads to poverty. - Proverbs 21:5The end of one year and the beginning of another is the perfect time to consider your financial situation. When people think about their finances, they usually fall into three categories. Those who are content with where they are, those who are terrified of where they are, and those who have no idea where they are. One thing is clear. If you don’t know where you are, then you will never know if you are on track to achieve anything. That’s why hope is not a financial strategy.For this year, it is time to take more ownership and understand your financial situation. Specifically, you need to identify where you want to go and then determine where you are. These two simple steps are crucial if you want to achieve any of your financial goals in the new year. Beyond that, here is a list of some goals to consider for this new year to put you on the right track to achieving and changing your financial situation.Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/Apichat Noipang  Tue, 23 Dec 2025 11:55:00 -0500 2026-01-08T03:22:50-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/finances/how-does-god-want-me-to-spend-my-money.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/finances/how-does-god-want-me-to-spend-my-money.html Carrie Lowrance https://www.crosswalk.com/author/carrie-lowrance/  Instead of spending our money on things that can lead us to financial ruin, we need to spend our money on the things that matter. Tithing, our families, making sure our bills are paid, getting out of debt, and helping others. Being good stewards of our money is essential and can lead to blessing in order to bless others.
