People going into debt to survive right now... As nice as it may feel to give, It probably is not a good idea to take money loaned from family or lenders to give it away while your kids are going without the basics. This is a no-brainer... or maybe most people are doing a lot better than we are right now.
Scripture says 10% belongs to the Lord..... He will provide if you trust in Him. The Lord first, not your groceries. How much junk food do you buy......
@WhosWhointheZoo123 very true however for many when it comes down to tithing or taking care of family people are going to choose the immediate need of feeding their family paying utilities and addressing their mortgage or rent to keep a roof over their head.
I think it's due to the economy. People can barely pay for groceries and utilities a lot of people have rental bills as vehicle payments. You can't give what you don't have
I have such a heart for others. I believe in true tithing. Then I love pouring out for the infirmed, homeless, shut ins, then the Lord impresses me to give amount, always ready to make sure there’s an abundance. All I have and am is the Lord’s. Hallelujah 🙌
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️♥️
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
Jesus taught us: But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, (Matthew 6:3). Asking someone how much they gave is tempting them to disobey Jesus (to sin). Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. (Luke17:1). Many red flags if you ask me! there is something wrong in this finance business of churches and charity. if they would depend on GOD instead of donations, this decline would not be concerning for them. but most of us have little faith in god, lets pray that we get more faith to trust god, that will solve ALL our problems ! 2.Cor 9:8 : God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
The price of churches buildings is ridiculous. They always say invite family friend niebors. Not the homeless lost widow fatherless. The uncomfortable tithe talks every sermon.
Fostering a healthy relationship with the Lord is critical to weathering the storms of life. I have spent this year working on all of my health (diet, exercise, and time with God and in the Word), and it has paid great dividends. Not only did my performance at work drastically improve, leading to a nice pay increase, but my ability to handle trials without succumbing to pressure has also increased dramatically. I am at the tail end of three very long weeks at work, and while my body is feeling the stress, I am emotionally as steady as ever.
Simple the prosperity gospel are building their Kingdom on the earth and keeping all the money for themselves instead of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.! And people are waking up that the Prosperity Gospel is is not working because only a few people get very wealthy while everybody else stays down
@@CC-oq1tsI've heard of many pastors have a separate well paying job when not serving the flock. Plus there are pastors who dont have a wife and kids. People don't need to get married and have kids. I'm glad I'm single its cheaper.
Tithing is not done away in the New Testament. God wants Christians to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all Humans in the World.Jesus gave thithes as a example ,it belongs to the Law of God for ever. 10 % of the Income should go to God! After all he gives Humans 90% to use the Earth. He wants to see if you trust him,he gives you great blessings if you do. In Gods Kingdom a perfect Tithing will come.10% to Run the Country 10% to save for Gods Feasts ,and 10 % for the needy People. Read in the Bible Deuteronomium 14:22-29 A Christian not keeping Gods Laws will not enter into Gods Kingdom. God is the same. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Hebr.13: 8 Shalom

Though I think I'm quite a positive and encouraging person who deliberately chooses daily to trust in Abba's provision, I actually feel kind of irked that you guys would so callously cast aspersions upon Believers today who are sincerely trying to please the Father in these incredibly strange & distressing times. I'm needing to help an ill older dear heart who lived a more Bohemian lifestyle sharing the love of Yeshua and His word - also via music - so she has no retirement. She and a few long-time cross-cultural ministers get my money and I have to cut back on my own basic expenditures in order to live on what that leaves me.. No more money to give a church - they haven't showed any interest in me, anyway, having been called (after being booted ou of my 30-year marriage) to work abroad until recently. Families are torn apart by divorce, getting educations & working far away from one another, and those who have created so much family trauma & disfunction by falling into & trying to hide addictions. Life is in no way what it used to be. Being over 70 I now hear that those in the NWO are planning to euthenize us who cross over into that decade of our lives, even tho I feel healthier than I did in the earlier years. Please PAUSE, PRAY & IMAGINE WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR US MIDDLE & LOWER CLASS WHO ARE APPARENTLY LESS WEALTHY than you are. Sincerely in Yeshua's heart, we need to come back to choosing to live holy caring-community lifestyles.
im glad im single because no money going towards family means more money to me and Jesus christ and people who need som e charity help. More people need to stay single now instead serve the church,spread the gospel of Jesus christ and evagelize get a hobby spend more time in the bible and prayer.
And we all have to admit that the world has become a much much darker place since the prosperity Evangelical movement started in the late seventies early eighties
No, greed of most denominations is killing church giving. That and a false legalism of tithing as opposed to New Testament grace giving. Add misappropriation of funds and unwise spending!
How can you ask why is that happening? People in the United States can't afford groceries!

Too bad folks are listening to the wrong voice,only listen to your faithful shepherd 🙌🏼✝️📖🙏🏼
Give with a cheerful heart, dont give under obligation...which is what most Churchs subtly preach.
The struggle is real…but with Christ we will succeed!🙏🙏
Next you go to Church and ask where in the Bible it says political matter cannot be discussed in Church? Because the Church is corrupt!

@@ScoobyDigites And most don't want to let go of their toys and junk food to live within a budget.... So they let go of God.
@WhosWhointheZoo123 right, or $1,000 phones, etc.
All I know is that things are tight all around. Wages aren't going up. I pray that God will continue to provide! ✝️

Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly states there's going a transference of the riches of the heathen to the righteous. God keep blessings you
But how do you make so much in a month?mind sharing?
Thanks to Mary Margaret Schimweg.
Really feel your pain, when I was even almost down my God sent to me Mary Margaret Schimweg services cryp to to me and changed the game automatically.
I've always wanted to be involved for a
long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
No better time to give and watch Him change the world.
My tithing goes to people, not to a building
It's economics....people are financially hurting.
My tithing has remained the same during the past three years, but I have sacrificed other indulgences.

It took the Reagan administration two years to stop inflation so don’t expect any improvement for a year or two.

Tithing isn’t biblical to the new covenant
If people don't give the pastor can't feed his family though.
@@CC-oq1ts"Tithing" is not New Testament. Of course that doesn't mean we don't give at all.

This is interesting
I wonder if political giving, in addition to a tough economy, might have been a factor the last few years.
