I am in total agreement with you. But what if a church doesn't have enough people who are giving money to pay their bills? Wouldn't it be a good idea for that church to either 1) find a way to have the funds to pay their bills or 2) find a way to have more people coming and giving so that the bills could be paid? If option #2 were taken, would that be a bad thing for the church to do?
A question that comes to mind immediately, is how did such a financially-strapped church come into being in the first place? Did someone just decide to start a church on their own? Or was it started under the auspices of an already established church? If the former, by what authority was this group of people joined together as a church? If the latter, then it would be the responsibility of the Elders and Deacons who are overseeing this new work to supply the needs required.
