“Where are the poor people so we can give to them?”
And “Who in this church has lack and financial struggle so we can share our abundance and reinforce the equality between us.?”
These are the real financial messages of the kingdom of Jesus Christ
No building, no salary, no superstars with mics, just a body of people together, ALL preaching the gospel verbally and financially.
Jesus’ message was not and has never been “pay your tithes up to the authorities so they can buy nice buildings and be full time.”
The great commission is nothing like a body of Christians spreading tithe-funded religious imperialism. Into more and more real estate.
