The tithe is often used in the OT not just to support the priests who didn't work the land but also as a testimony to God and all He had done.
What do you do to testify to God? Words are cheap but do you put your money where your mouth is? What better testament to God's provision than to show on your bank balance that you believe in and support the work of the church (globally).
There are loads of excuses people give as to why they don't tithe but they are pretty weak when it measures up to scripture. I can't "afford" my tithe if I look at my finances with human eyes but when I give the money as the first deduction when I get paid, I simply work with what I have left and I can prove that I believe in the church!
