Another Tithing Question
When tithing, can a person take 10% of his income and give it to a ministry other then the church he is attending, such as a radio station he listens to, a out reach ministry and then call it “the storehouse”?
Q. I don’t have a problem with tithing actually, I enjoy giving and I do hope some day God will provide me with an opportunity to give abundantly to others.
When tithing, can a person take 10% of his income and give it to a ministry other then the church he is attending, such as a radio station he listens to, a out reach ministry and then call it “the storehouse”?
Can a person give half of his tithes to the church he attends then half to other ministry needs then call it “the storehouse” cause it will be giving to Gods house just different ministries and out-reach needs?
Is there scripture that specifically states or points in the direction that all your tithing should go to the church you attend?
And if you’re not getting fed in that church is that a requirement for tithing to that church that you should be getting fed?
A. How you distribute your tithe is between you and the Lord. While it’s normal for a person to support their local congregation first, there’s no Biblical requirement to do so. The “storehouse” can be any Christian ministry that you feel led to support.
But if you’re not getting fed in the church you’re currently attending, have you thought about finding another one that you could feel more comfortable supporting? It’s a great blessing to see your tithes in action even though your giving should always be done out of gratitude for what the Lord has done for you, not as a measure of how well your church is meeting your expectations.
