Bible Question: does the church have to tithe to the missions |
Bible Answer: Personally I think this is the biggest failure of the church today. They want their people to tithe but refuse to tithe themselves. I believe every church should give at the very least 10 percent of it's income to missions (home or abroad) benevolence (helping those in need) and helping other churches that may be in need. I know for a fact that when a church does this God blesses the church. Also note I said at least 10 percent, I would hope churches would aim for 20 percent or higher. EdB |
