Look at your monthly discretionary spending (dining out, entertainment, vacations, clothing, etc.) and commit a portion of that amount as a monthly gift to the church.

• For example, if your monthly discretionary spending is $2,000, commit 10% of this amount ($200) as a monthly gift to the church.
• Increase this amount annually as your income grows.

Dedicate a portion of your next salary increase as a monthly gift to the church.  

• For example, if your next salary is 8%, dedicate a significant portion of that increase (up to ½) as a monthly gift to the church.

Dedicate a portion of your annual bonus as a one-time gift to the church.

If these strategies are not practical, give “something” and see where God leads you in your giving.
