It’s abuse no matter the scale. Stop taking money for projects and start investing in people.

So I say unto you, today, there is no place for tithes in the Lord’s church. Tithes were used, by God, to teach the children of Israel the difference between a real God, and the false gods; which is why he said ” prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Also tithes were under the law; but the Lords church is not under the law; but under grace and truth: meaning we are under the law of Christ. And since tithes are under the law, and Jesus is the fulfillment of the law: then when he uttered the words “it’s finished” he was closing the door on the old law and establishing a new law; in which there is no tithing. Therefore those who teach tithing and those who pay tithes are rejecting the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is also said that “the just shall live by faith”. And paying tithes is not faith, but under the law tithes was an obligation to be paid to the Levites for the upkeep of the Lord’s house. Jesus did not preach tithes, and neither did any of his apostles. Tithes is a deception by which many innocent souls are being deceived. It is a part of the pastor’s salary, and should be taxed. It is also taking advantage of the vulnerable who lack understanding, and who fear God.

$14 billion annually, thats what was reported and I know that when you deal with cash, over 10% of whats reported is being skimmed off the top, but I digress. There are approximately 320,000 churches in this country, thats all churches not just black, so you should have did that research for you posted about there being a million black churches. But the real issue here isn’t how many churches, the issue is $14 billion annually that never goes back into our communities, as if we don’t need it. Even if half of the money is reinvested then thats a $7 billion dollar fund that can help create 100’s of thousands of businesses, and if you can’t see that then you’re blind!

What I’m doing isn’t what this is about, I just chose to shed light on the $14 billion annually that the church siphons out of the community while asking the congregation to pray for money and miracles!

Dont believe the hype. There are probably a million black churches in America. If thats the case… then each takes on an average of 420k annually. ( oh wait…! Thats 420k since 1980…. or14k per year! (See what i did there?) 

These churches vary in size, staff, and hence expenses. But they all have lights… water… insurances… and most some salary of staff… pastors… administrators… musicians. After its all said and done, THE BLACK CHURCH is oftentimes operating on shoestring budgets. 

Dont take a snapshot of a few megachurches and TV pastors and try to define the BLACK CHURCH with your those numbers and negativity. The bottom line is either you believe in GOD and His WORD… or not. 

It may seem like to you that the BLACK CHURCH is not doing anything… because you dont sup with those who the church helps. I personally know dozens of people who couldnt survive or function week to week, were it not for their local community churches. 

Give what you can… CHEERFULLY or keep ya lil nickels… because thats what they are , compared to God’s riches in Heaven. Real Christians aint tryna buy their way into heaven. Real Christians know that’s impossible… for that price has been paid. But i encourage you to get sooooo involved in trying to FIX any problem you believe exists that your work suffocates your negative, distorted view of reality. 

Either you are a part of the solution-or you’re a part of the problem. Its kinda like Heaven and hell. There is no “in-between”.
