You have already posted the articles of faith, so it is established that the UPCI advocates tithing in a stricter sense which I do not pass down to my local church. I disagree with that, and I am not ashamed to say it. I am not yet convinced it is something I want to break fellowship over it though.
I’m not suggesting that you break fellowship. What I would like to see is pastors and other leadership that would work to correct it. I’m not advising you to do so either. That would be up to you, obviously.

I do beg to differ with you on the good pattern to support ministries of the church. A GOOD pattern would be one that is scriptural. When we decide to adapt scripture to fit our habits and vision, even though in some cases it may be with good intentions, we have willingly stepped on to a slippery slope. It’s not going to end well (in my humble opinion). And my humility is legendary.



I think this is working from your perspective. I know it’s not working from other perspectives. I may share a story later about that.
