any pastors do not have a clue as to what goes on in the work force, and many of them lose contact with the suffering of their members. Therefore, the pastor's pulpit belts the people, to the point where they became rebellious and quit. Members have car payments, mortgages, phone bills, medical and denial bills, vision and hair care bills. Lawn care, home maintenance, car maintenance, food and other bills. Plus tithes and offerings. They are working two jobs and still have to find time to come to church, and also do church activities. As pastors, we need to appreciate these people who are dropping envelopes each week in out tithes baskets. If we curse them out, and told them from the scriptures that they are cursed with a curse, without understanding their situation we will lose them. In-fact. Some are looking for excuses to leave.
This is How I Deal With It.
I asked the members if they have any tithes and offering they want to give! We pick up the tithes and offering: Bless it, bless the people, and acknowledge that I know what they been going through in the job market. Then I put the tithes away, and go on with the Sunday service. Tithes and offering are not mentioned again, not even in the sermon. Some pastors it does not matter what sermon they preach it always end up at money. A Sabbath keeping pastors, it does not matter where the sermon started, it ended up at Sabbath keeping. Are we keeping Sabbath for you or are we keeping it for God? Must we hear whose name we should be baptized in every sermon? Must we hear about tithes on offering in every sermon? It's just like a man who saw a woman that he desired, if every time he saw her he talked about her body, she soon starts thinking that he only saw her as a piece of meat. In addition, stop talking to him. Whenever a pastor mentions tithes and offering too often, the people start thinking he is making merchandise of them. They are his cows, chicken, goat, and pigs.
What The New Testament Says.
1 Cor. 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath (((prospered him,))) that there be no gatherings when I come.
2 Cor 9:6-8 (NKJV)But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let (((each one give as he ((purposes in his heart,))) not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
"Purposes in his heart." This means that the member must decide in his or her heart how much they decided to give. Under old Test Testament, the one-tenth was in full force, New Testament said, the people must give as they decided in their heart, as God has prospered them. Under New Testament, you will get more, in the end, and rich members will not leave because they covet to give what the one-tenth mount up to.
You Need To Make The People Grow Into tithe payment.
As they see what God has done for them through Christ, they will begin to give, without anybody beating upon them to give. For example, if a man is kind of a woman, the first man came to her mind when nature call is the same man who she is calling on all the while.
Pastors that stuck on one- tenth sometime robbed and cut themselves short in. ?Give as the Lord prospered you? is more than one-tenth. ?Give as he purposes in his heart.? These scriptures give the beginner time to grow into big giving. Some members own supermarket and one tenth of that money is in the million, they were comfortable giving ten-thousand, and smart pastors take the ten thousand and give the rich member time to grow into big giving. If you started to beat him to give more, he will run altogether.

My version of Christianity!
My version of Christianity is from Ethiopia, not the Christianity of the Americas. Ethiopian Orthodox. The Christianity that Philip the Evangelist brought to the Ethiopian eunuch, and which the eunuch brought back to Ethiopia, and they practice for thousands of years.
