The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum proper recipient of our tithes/offerings

I think a tithe should be given to the church that is ministering to you. By not giving the entire tithe to the church is basically saying I do not submit to the church in handling money. Churches could give more money to Missions if everyone tithe 100% instead of members holding back some of their tithe to give to a special cause. They should be encourage to do that, but as an offering above their tithe.

My present church does their Missions through Faith Promise which I disagree but it has been ingrained for 30 years or so. I'm sure it is stealing money away from the church because some will think it as part of their tithe.
