aun me molesta un poco ver como las personas al momento de dar algo lo hacen disque dirigidos por el Espíritu Santo, pero días despues, cuando algo les falta, se quejan de lo que dieron, ¿acaso no odieron el dinero por Amor de Cristo? ¿acaso es Dios un mentiroso que no cumple Su palabra? fue Él quien prometio que si damos seremos recompenzados, y NO creo que Él mienta…
Si das algo, asegurate que lo das a Dios, a Su Reino, y no creo que a Dios se le deba pedir Reembolso de lo que se le dió.
be bless.

Sadly, Church Fraud is a very real concern, with potential risk from the outside as well as within. There are simple steps to increase the security of a church’s finances but it is difficult to know where to start. I recently found out about a Christian Accounting firm that offers online tools and support for churches. They have some excellent resources as well as an online questionnaire that will determine whether a church is at risk. Their service is called Weeds in the Garden.

1.) New Testament Tithing is not required.
2.) You are not cursed with a curse.
3.) Demand financial accountability of by not giving to your church. You can give to other ministries, until the Pastor quits, or repents and decides to relinquish financial authority.
4.) Look at what is happening at another church in Raleigh, N.C. http://www.dontgogreek.com/blog Topic- “Churchianity is Expensive”

I have seen this over and over and refuse to give now because my current church post 18 to 20 k per week but we still do not have enough to fix our church building and the pastor lives like a millionaire. on top of that he continues demand more money while isolating himself from the congregation. I know that god has to deal with him but i refuses to give any money

@ Rose

Bad is relative. People across the country could think that Jerry Fallwell was a “bad” pastor because of his staunch conservative ideals. On the opposite end, people most certainly think Jeremiah Wright was a “bad” pastor because of his particular views toward particular American values.

I have always wondered why people continue to follow bad preachers. I don’t understand why we depend on the pastor to teach us everything. That’s how people fall into error. It is supposed to study to show ourselves approved, and be led by the HOly Spirit. The same God that gives the pastor a message can give it to the ordinary man too.

Personally I would have like to see my tithe go towards schools for kids, literacy programs for adults, and teaching the community about money, savings and investments.

Returning to my ‘rich dad, poor dad’ theme, most black churches simply have not embraced wealth generation as a means to serve the community. While Catholic priests have had their issues, those vows of ‘poverty, chastity, and obedience’ sure look more appealing now than ever. My concern is the percentage of this wealth that has done little except employ people. Maybe I”m being simple, but you could feed, clothe, and house lots of folks for 320 billion. If you had a college endowment of 1/5th of that you could put a lot of young folks through school.
