Ok... so let's talking giving, or better yet, the "T" word... tithing.  A friend and I are having an ongoing conversation about this issue lately.  It came up when he told me the associate pastor of his church asked him, in front of some other people what "his deal" was.  And by that I mean... asking if his family had been giving cash in the offering because he looked at the tithe records and said there's no way they were tithing regularly.  So, this pastor was asking him... in front of people... what the problem was and why he wasn't giving and it's biblical and what's the deal and blah blah blah.

After I got over my shock at how brazen and stupid this associate pastor was, we began an ongoing dialogue about giving and what it's for and what the Bible says about it.

Some people say tithing (10%) is a requirement.  Others say that's a good target but not required.

What do you say?  Where do you stand on the issue?

It's Tuesday... Let's Talk: Giving
