First understand that it does not cost you to become a Christian. There are no dues to the church and if you don't pay you can't have your salvation taken away. However, my beliefs are that you should give to God the first of your crops. That would translate to giving your tithes before you buy anything or pay anything. God does not want your leftovers. Leviticus 27:32 says that "The entire tithe of the herd and flock - every tenth animal that passes under the shepards rod will be holy to the Lord." Every tenth animal would be ten percent of the herd. God does not need your money. But you should give back to the Lord out of what you have. Just as your household needs money to run so does your church and your pastor needs to care for his family if he has one. If there is a special need within your church then it is right for your pastor to ask for help. I think that it was said that 10 percent of the people give 90 percent of the money that comes into the church. Tithing is a touchy subject. One that I believe is between you and God alone. He is the one that you have to answer to. May God Bless you.

Your pastor isn't asking for a specific amount, over tithing; he's asking for parishoners to give over and above that amount, if they can and "as the spirit moves them". If you have an extra dollar and feel motivated to give it, do so. The same with a hundred dollars. Or with no dollars, if your budget's tight. (Some people give of their time, or skills.)
