[b]Isn’t this a question every churchgoer has either asked or wondered about at some point in their Christian Walk. Personally, the issue is a serious one that will determine whether I choose a church or let it go. I’ve experienced churches that REQUIRE a disclosure of your Annual Tax Return to determine what you should, or should have, tithed throughout the year. I’ve experienced churches (Pastors) that (who) will use the “Guilt Trip” technique to get your tithe. The church that goes to The Old Country Buffet after Service each week but has the Pastor use that outing as a measure against whether you’re doing the right thing by enjoying the “after church festivities” as opposed to tithing…challenging you to forgo the fun, and tithe your “Old Country Buffet” money….telling you that it’s God’s money not yours. Or there’s the Church that will promise you 100X whatever you tithe…and even go as far as putting a specific date on it….most of the time from a person who has determined they have the “Gift Of Prophecy” and claim that “within 4 days (or on he 4th day), The Lord is going to Bless your finances!!! Or the “Hostage Church”. The church that has been told by The Lord that everyone WILL Tithe “this week” and that the number #5,000 has been shown to them and that “We are not going anywhere today until we “fulfill The Lord’s Promise” this morning and have #5,000. Low and behold the church has 25 Members, 65% of whom are women, 34% of whom are children, and 1% of whom are men. Then by the end of the “Service”, after the “Tithe Box” has been counted in front of the entire 25 Member Congregation about 10 times, the church resorts to accepting I.O.U. notes from members which finally satisfies “The Promise” for the day sent by “The Lord”. Many many churches differentiates ”Tithing” from “Giving”…where the “Tithe” is a “Command From The Lord”, while “Giving” is voluntary and consists of whatever you have left after tithing. Then there are the honest churches led by Godly Men and Women who don’t operate via exploitation tactics and don’t press the issue. They teach you what The Word says and leave it between you and The Lord. Not all churches are guilty of inappropriate practices when it comes to tithing (and Giving)…but many are. Many times, in most of these inappropriate scenarios, it would seem that the church wouldn’t care if you left empty handed with no money at the end of the service, even to the extent that you might not be able to pay your bills. But, “the church” will avoid being accused of not caring by always encouraging you that “The Lord Will Provide”. At the end of the day…despite the manner in which each church (or your church) approaches urging people to Tithe… “Where Does The Money Go”?…(in your opinion) and what are your comments in general concerning the church and tithing?[/b] http://wblk.com/tithing-where-does-the-money-go/?trackback=tsmclip 1 Like |

@ Freeman what does the bible say about tithing? |
| Re: Tithing: Where Does The Money Go? by mutiply: 11:09am On Sep 06, 2015 |
Am never a fan of this tithe issue. Most of the congregation are poor and they find it hard to eat three square meals daily. Why don't the church support its members? There are widows and less privilege members, can't these tithe been used to support one another. The tithe is tagged as what you give to God but one man who is comfortable in life and who is been paid monthly will get hold of it. I rather give mine to beggars on the street without asking anything from them rather than give more money to a rich man. God who sees what I do secretly will reward me secretly. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

mutiply: Errr ... I think you are neglecting the spiritual significance of tithing . You are seeing it as helping the pastors . Remember , sow bountifully and reap bountifully . If are you sowing in truth and reaping nothing . Change your church ! |

I'm sure u know there are workers in the church... The Drummers, those who play the keyboard, piano, blow the trumpet, cleaners, and 90percent of them are paid. Where do u expect the money to come from, The Pastor's pocket? I'm sure u know the church also needs maintenance, purchasing of diesel, repair of any faulty electrical appliances and u also don't expect that to come from the pastor's pocket alone. Now, paying of rents, printing of bulletin etc all requires money, do u also expect that to come from ur pastor's pocket alone? I used to live in such notion but i'm glad I don't think about it anymore. Pray to blessed beyond ur expectation and such thoughts would be the last thing u would think of. |
