Why do the scriptures ask us to give 10% of our earnings in charity?
Giving 10% teaches the discipline of service
As a matter of principle, give 10% of your earnings in charity. This teaches the discipline of service. When we start serving with our wealth, we come to the thought that we should serve with our body too.
They say: listen, as a matter of principle you must give 10% of your earnings in charity. This will teach you the discipline of service.
