Why Should I Tithe To A Church With A Jumbotron?

In my last post about American excess, Brant mentioned in passing that in lieu of tithing to his local chuch, he and his family support 6 children through Compassion. His reasoning was that his church didn’t seem to need it.

I can relate. The church we went to when we lived in The Woodlands, Texas, we very wealthy. Although my husband and I tithed, we struggled with it because it didn’t seem like the church needed it.

I’ve heard this complaint a lot from various sources and I have to wonder what the cause is. I think it comes down to one of two factors:

1. The church isn’t communicating the way that the tithe is impacting the community or ministries around the world.

2. The church isn’t impacting the community or ministries around the world.

What do you think? Do you have any issues with tithing to your church? If you don’t tithe to your church, where do you tithe?
