But in your estimation, would they be robbing God if they give the tithe to a needy person?
Brother Epley, why does God need money? He owns it all to begin with. We don't have to strive with each other over who gives and who does not give if we know who the Giver is. Peter and John told the man at the Gate Beautiful that ...Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Money is always an issue but I think as believers we depend on tithes and offerings more than we depend on God assuring us that He would supply all our needs, according to his riches in glory.
Our church system mismanages what it receives. Mortgages for church buildings, insurances, utilities etc is a big waste of resources. Better that we do like the early church.
