The Christian church has become weak and anemic due to its abandonment of the authority of the word of God and its focus on feelings and emotions.

They can create a system that works for them, such as directing a portion of their giving individually and then jointly deciding on the rest.

God blesses those who give 10% of their income back to Him, and those who do so experience even greater blessings.

We are called to give generously, not out of obligation, but out of joy and worship, and to store up for ourselves a good foundation for the time to come. [... more]
