Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper,
call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours;
lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:
for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luke 14:12-14                                I Corinthians 11:22

My Testimony:

When I was in High SchooI, I began to tithe 1%, later 2%,
I was happy when I reached 8%, 9% and then finally 10% !!!

I found the blessing matched the level of tithes that I gave.          
Whether you tithe on your net or gross income, it is your choice.
II Corinthians 9:6-8

You've already paid tithe on your income,
Don't need to tithe on your income tax refund.

Don't tithe on your loans, It's not an income.        Michael
