Subject: Releases from tithing 10 per cent? |
Bible Note: Dear Johnny, Greetings in Jesus' name! Great story! Does your local church need a 20 million dollar equivalent convention hall? How often do you hear about the need for funds to support this convention center? Does everyone in the church know the names and amounts of those that 'gave big?' Will you hold on to this convention center, no matter what, even if it is a drain on the entire resources of the church? My friend, I do not intend these questions to be mean or facetious! I only ask them because of foolishness and financial abuse I have witnessed in the church. My 'scenario' seems to work better, and glorify God longer, though maybe without the 'spikes' of glory. :-) Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
