SourceThe tithe of the thing has made many to stop going to church; that was the reason I asked myself ‘do God really want our tithe?’
Last year when I relocated to New apartment, I decided to join the local assembly of my church since they had a branch in my new apartment.
In my previous place of worship, my pastor didn't really talk about tithe like; he preached salvation of the soul.
Well! As a Christian, I believe it is good to pay tithe, and I was paying my tithe.
When I relocated, I could not get myself back because of the expense I have made to relocate. I decided to pay my tithe in my difficulty. It got to a certain time, I don't have money to pay for tithe.
The pastor called me, he didn't even ask about my salvation and my life. He asked me, “Pastor Christ, you have not been paying your tithe; what is happening?”
I decide to lie that I'm paying my tithe to my formal church and that is how I want it.
“It is not done like that you have to pay tithe to a church you are worshiping."
Sir, if I pay tithe to my formal church, it is the same denomination, it is the same church. I am not leaving my formal church, and I was made assistant pastor over there; I am still discharged from my duties as assistant pastor whenever I go there. I am worshiping here anytime I am at home since this church is not far away from my house.
