Happy Sunday to everybody here. am a good xtian. but now a days I can see the looting in our various churches(I know the Bible says Judge not)Am thinking if paying of tithes and various offering should be offer to the motherless, challenge people,inmate, less privileged, we all believe that there is more blessing in giving out than taking in. God bless us all. Happy Sunday.

Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there will be plenty of food there. The temple is the house of God. Any help offered to the motherless home is termed CHARITY not payment of tithes. Tithes and offerings re done in church. I'm neither a pastor nor a devoted Christian infact I hardly goto church..reason? I am fed up of pastors and their preachings on politics and success only, thereby deviating from the WORD. I simply obey and act based on what is written in the word of God because the word of God is POWER and TRUTH.

As donpizzle rightly remarked, tithes and offering is paid in Church.. Anything you do outside is Charity/Philantropy...
I understand your point but you see the command to pay tithe/offering is unto you to obey and the blessings afterwards is to you also.
In the earthly and physical, you dont evade tax because govt officials tend to lavish tax payers money..You still pay all the same because of the law and punishment for evasion.
The spiritual is same: Obedience is demanded..For all such who defraud tithe payers and lavish tithes, we say repent lest you face the wrath of God..Surely know unrepentant fraudstar in the guise of Man of God will go unpunished...You will do well to obey you Lord if you so believe in Him!
In conclusion, this is personal. The Church I attend dont preach first fruits, its a conservative assembly, we preach only tithe and offerings but I committed myself to it and nobody knows because I found the command in Proverbs 3:9 'honour the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruits of thine increase, so shall thine barns be full...'
Though before I found that, Ive had considerable testimony of supplies yet because I saw it I keyed into a new level of more abundant supplies and prosperity by Faith, your guess is as good as mine!
