Does our tithe all have to go to our church or can part of it go to a Christian ministry?

I believe the word of God in Malachi 3: 10, that says bring ye all the tithe into the house of God---- A faith filled church where the Word of God is preached; you must belong to a local church: in this church, you must pay your full tithe and not split it. Any other offering is different from tithe. You can give your offering in gratitude to God for numerous blessings you receive from God, and also be a blessing to fellow Christian brother or sister and be hospitable to human being, but tithe must be in full which is 10% of your earnings and must go to the local church you belong. Given of tithe is a blessing to the giver because the bible says we should prove God if He will not open the windows of heaven and bless us beyond our given. Also Luke 6: 38 says give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down and running over it shall be given unto us. Our blessings from the Lord is not only in cash but every area of life, and I believe that givers do not lack. On the other hand if you see that your money or tithe collected is not used for propagation of God's Kingdom but for selfish needs then you can look for another local church that are truly working for God's children.

Not all tithing is financial such as helping with events to doing the dishes after the event. There's a fellow in our neighborhood that quietly keeps the snow plowed and ask for nothing in return. There's multiple ways to tithe, money is common but all forms are except able.
