Funny how nobody has asked the question: Who's making the money? Did Jesus make any money? How much does the moneymaker make? And...Why is religion based on money?

Money and Authority will always be the down fall of "churches".

They forget the purpose of the Congregation and the Congregation gladly gives up its responsibility.

Think about it though: I live a hectic life with family friends and work. I have little time to serve others, so I gladly "tithe" to the church who I know will do great things with my money (a representation of my time and energy).

I invite unsaved friends to church or encourage the nonbeliever to go to church or speak with my pastor.

I make sure that on Sunday morning my kids go to a separate class than I and that they get a playful lesson and a cookie.

It is all about moving responsibility to the church and away from me.
