Religious enlightenment comes with a price tag.

Give ONLY when you FEEL like you want to give. GOD will still BLESS YOU even if you don't give money to church.

Don't give because you felt COMPELLED to give. GOD wiill still LOVE YOU even if the church doesn't love you.

Instead of giving money to your church, why not serve your church members? GOD will be happy if you have the heart to serve others.

You are in a wrong church if you feel like your church is being run like a MAFIA Organisation, and be careful of people who claims to know GOD but GOD doesn't know these people.

I dont think God rejects anyone poor. What you think ?

There is no enforcement in the bible. Likewise, the church should not be forcing you to donate a certain percentage of your salary as well. Normally, it comes with peer pressure. You can still be sincere to your God even if you cant afford to donate to the church you are attending. God will not reject a believer, so how can Man fault you for not giving. Give only within your means

Of course. If your church tells you otherwise, then you know that you're in the wrong place

But it's still important to give what you can. I don't think God looks at the amount, but rather the intention behind the giving.

And by the way, while tithing is in the Bible, it is not necessary anymore, just like we don't have to do burnt offerings anymore also.

hasene SG

isn't this between you and God?

Just pray and see how.

Good post by servant.

tithes are not mandatory.

in fact churches used to be places where we can get free food.

when i was a teen i used to go to church for food.

Think about it.Rich people in the bible don't even have the luxury that poor Singaporeans have and yet they are sinners.
