Question by Ashlee: List of churches that need money?
Hi
I don’t have the time to visit a church, so I go to lifechurch.tv whenever I can during the week.
I would still like to tithe, but since I don’t physically go to a church, I’d have to pay online.
But I was wondering.. lifechurch is a VERY big community, and I’m sure they get more than enough money to pay the bills.
I was wondering if there is a site, that lists churches who are desperate for money, who are about to shut down that I could give my tithe too.
I love those cute little old churches, I’d hate to see them go.

Lol, they are scamming you.
Congrats, now you know and can stop.
Churches are houses of evil, beautiful maybe, but I wouldn’t care one bit if they all burned down.
Churches might be desperate for money, but maybe they should have thought about that before they ruined so many lives.
Keep your money, or give it to a worthwhile charity.

Don’t confuse tithing as just giving to a church. And its doesnt have to be money. Jesus taught that tithing is giving to God, not just a church. If you don’t have time to give to a church, give to God through another way. For instance, show his love by giving a homeless man a mcdonalds cheeseburger or shampoo or something like that. Show love. This is the real definition of giving to God.

They all need money, honey. They are going broke in droves. Send your money to a good charity, like Doctors without Borders. They are actually doing good.
Ben Franklin said, “Lighthouses are better than churches.”

The Church is the Body of Christ not a building.
Giving alms doesn’t have to mean money.
Give to someone in need, or search for a worthy local Church to give the money, or clothes..etc

You should find another source for you studying Christians do not have to pay tithe. True tithe are always food.

The biblical tithe as commanded in the old covenant law was a tenth of the increase of produce and/or livestock. No one was ever commanded to tithe on their wages.
The tithe was used in a number of ways; some was given to the Levites, some to the widows, orphans, and poor, and some used by the owner of the tithe at the feasts held in Jerusalem. Contrary to the belief of some, there was only one tithe. Some post-exilic era Rabbis concluded there were three tithes, which becomes an oxymoron. Three tithes is like saying thirty percent, and thirty percent is not ten percent.
Twisting Scripture is defined as altering Scripture or its application. Teaching Christians to tithe does both:
1) Tithing was an old covenant point of law. In Acts 15, it is stated that to teach old covenant law to non-Jewish Christians resulted in the subversion of the souls of Christians. It may well be unclear to many Christians how their souls are subverted by believing they have to tithe. To put it simply, it is a matter of believing a lie, and believing God requires something of them that God does not. It is written that the truth will set you free. The opposite is also true; lies enslave. New Covenant theology is about the spirit of the law, sans the letter (Rom. 7:6) and walking in faith. The apostle Paul wrote that the law is not of faith, and to believe you have to tithe causes Christians to take their focus off of walking by faith and placing it back on points of law and compliance with law. Faith is subverted. The narrow path of life is widened into a path of destruction.
Teaching Christians to tithe is an alteration of the application of the tithing law. It takes what applied only to the Israelites who were a party to the old covenant, and attempts to apply it to Christians who are not a party to the old covenant.
2) Teaching Christians to tithe on their wages is an alteration of Scripture, seeing as the tithe was based on the increase of produce and livestock, and never wages. This too is twisting of Scripture.
What motivates someone to alter Scripture and/or its application? There are two main reasons:
1) They do not believe what Scripture states. They believe Scripture is either flawed through a bad translation, or that it does not provide all the evidence on a particular subject, and that other passages of Scripture will “clear it up.”
2) They are wolves in sheep’s clothing who have no fear of God and His Inspired Word, where they alter Scripture and its application in order for Scripture to benefit them. A wolf seeks to feed his own belly at the expense of the flock. Does altering the tithing law and its application accomplish this for the wolf?
