I pay my tithes (and I say "pay" because I can't "give" something that doesn't belong to me)... online. My church has the option to do an automatic withdrawal, but I like to say a lil prayer over it before I click "submit". As far as the offering plate, I still find joy in giving into the plate. I just reserve the physical plate for my offerings. I do the tithes online because its easier to keep up with my records and I can do it as SOON as I get paid vs having to wait until Sunday/Wednesday.
