Unfortunately it seems to a lot of christians go by the 10% standard because it's what they are hearing preached ,they also don't seem to be using the tithes as the bible teaches.Apart from that the New Testament requirements were even considered hard when heard by the apostles"who then can enter the kingdom of heaven?"We go by the 10% because it seems more effective than "what God leads me to give" because in my experience people who do this tend to give very little!Maybe they're not reading the Gospels?I wish the church ran like the New Testament times and I wish we still had some Old Testament concepts like the year of Jubilee etc.I never felt that disillusioned with church until this year when it finally dawned on me alot of church practices and teaching are actually duping us and not working effectively for christians and those needing to be saved-money organisation in the church is one of the key problems I can see plus how we train our children and how we 'do' church.If christians started helping each other more the world would see and think' this is a good thing- something I want to be part of", surely?Blessings from Linda.
