Your tithes, gifts and offerings are transformed into the energy of love, and all who are touched by this love are profoundly changed. Be joyful in knowing God's love is made manifest through you!

Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity Movement,
has this to say about the practice of tithing
"There are many people who wish to give, but seem at a loss of how to go about it or where to begin. They do no know how much to give, or when or how often to offer their gifts, and there are a host of related questions. To answer these questions there must be found a definite basis for their giving, a rule to which they can conform. This is where the law of tithing fits beautifully, for it is a basis and a sound one, tested and proved for thousands of years. The tithe may be a tenth part of one's salary, wage, or allowance, of the net profits of business, or of money received from the sale of goods. It is based on every form of supply, no matter through what channel it may come, for there are many channels through which man is prospered. The tenth part should be set apart for the upkeep of some spiritual work or workers. It should be set apart first even before one's personal expenses are taken out, for in the right relation of things, God always comes first. Then everything else flows in divine order and prosperity falls into its proper place... Tithing establishes method in giving and brings into the consciousness a sense of order and fitness that will be manifested in one's outer life and affairs as increased efficiency and greater prosperity."
