I also think it is important to understand that it really is about cost sharing. The notion that the tithe is Holy is true to the old covenant. Today many preachers want to remind us that the tithe is holy, it’s not. If they TRULY believed it were, they wouldn’t feel free to change it from what it was under the old covenant. Their actions and their words are telling different stories.
How to support the ministry? Free will offerings. It’s the New Testament way.
2Cor.9
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
I don’t understand why people can’t seem to see this. Do you see anything wrong with this method?

If you were going to Pastor a church, unless you are wealthy, you need some sort of commitment from a group of people to secure a facility. You need some assurance that you are going to get financial help. You need financial commitments.
I suppose what is worrying me is that so many people are anti tithing, which could result in people not supporting the ministry.
