I admit, tithing while in debt took me some time. God had to work on me a bit in this area. I can be hard headed sometimes. It’s human nature to insist we do things our way.

Arthur, yes, I think being in financial bondage is the perfect time to trust God! I am a huge advocate of giving while in debt.

Less than 3% of Christians tithe. That is sad. Giving is an outside indicator of how much we trust God. Seems that many Christians are in financial bondage and do not trust God very much.

I think the Dollars & Doc excerpt was quite insightful. I really like how the author uses a lot of scripture (instead of just opinion) but also ties it together really well. .-= Scott´s last blog ..Give Where? =-.

Hi Paul. Yes, I think ministries also have a responsiblity of financial stewardship, just like people. I think the folks running MinistryWatch.com are doing some good things to help people direct their giving to responsible ministries. Again, I haven’t read Dollar and Doctrine, but obviously, the priorities on giving (local church vs. ministries) was something I found of interest and felt it worthy of a post! Thanks for commenting.

Jason,

Interesting questions! I think the excerpt from Dollar and Doctrine was good on some points but lacked on others. His “pragmatic solutions” aren’t exactly Biblical. I agree we should support those who minister to us, but that can be done through Biblical New Covenant giving principles rather than relying on Old Covenant tithing laws.

I’ve been wondering about how churches use money and whether it’s good or not. For example, churches that spend money paying for a light to shine on the steeple all night long (that aren’t open 24 hours) – is that a good use of money that’s been given to the church? I can understand outside lighting around the building to deter thieves, but no one’s breaking in through the steeple. Why do we even spend money on steeples in the first place???

Those ideas tie in to what Ministry Watch is doing. Inefficient use of money given to advance the Kingdom is irresponsible and wasteful. We need to carefully manage and use whatever God has given us so we can do the best job as stewards of His blessings.
