Tithing was a good example and people needs to eat (plain and simple).The argument however was not as strong when I saw I could have given more money to missionaries , to the widows since I knew that the needs of the church has been supplied more than enough.There is always this voice coming from the pulpit tithe should always be given to the home church-period eventhough we live under grace not under law. (ironic)Your post was truly a breath of fresh air. It gives a balanced view point. It confirms my conviction.As a woman with two sons, a wife, a bread winner, sometimes money comes short. It makes me feel awful when I saw the needs of friends and family members around me that I could’ve helped financially but the tithe was suppose to be for the church when I knew that the church has had more than enough. This wrong message needs to be declared from the roof top.There are estimated 1 billion Christians in the world today. If we would all give generously to one another I cannot see the reason why poverty cannot be override.
