Why is tithing such a rip off when I get such an uplift and a feeling of love from being in church? Why isn’t it seen as a gift?
Why do so many people dislike the fact that I give money to my church and my Pastor when they go into a shop and buy ciggarettes or stand in a bar and drink alcohol?
Why is it mainly non-believers who don’t believe in giving money to church and who believe it’s a way to get money out of weak people?
Why aren’t motivational events that uplift you for a few hours and then have you return to your old state of worry and fear a rip off?
Why is it that NOTHING has come close to providing me with the peace, joy and serenity I feel since finding my church GoodNews Ministries and yet to suggest that I give them 10% of everything I earn is met with complete shock?
When are we going to realise that giving is about giving from the heart? Have you ever bought something for someone you love just because you love them and you knew they would love it?Well I give because I know Jesus loves it.
My Pastor can’t do anything if I buy him a cow or a chicken – the old days of tithing. Money is the easiest thing to tithe plus it helps the church to function and I have even been encouraged to tithe my time and smiles (yes you can tithe smiles too 
) so it’s not always about money but to keep supporting my spiritual development my church needs help.
Please watch this video and answer a question for me…….
What would be on your cardboard testimony?

P.S. I want to thank and bless Scott McQueen from Just A Thought for bringing this video to my attention today
Where ever we receive our spiritual nourishment is where we need to invest….. remember that and may God fill your life with love and laughter in 2009
