[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A man cannot serve 2 masters, either he will love one and hate the other.
You cannot serve God and money. Wealth will distance you from your flock, and it will distort your values. Most ministers already believe that 20% of the people donate 80% of the funds so therefore concentrate on the 20%. But Jesus never preached that.

I think Mother Theresa had a balance of wealth without loving money, no that she is an example that the wealthy ministers could follow.
Many people stop going to church because they cannot afford to tithe or the activity fees[/quote]

Is tithing or giving activity fees a requirement for Christian churches? Do they keep track of how much you give? How much transparency is there?

Raised Muslim, we were required to pay "zakat" - a charitable percentage of your income. But this did not have to be to any mosque or imam, and it was up to each person or family to be accountable only to god. Mosques were funded strictly on a volunteer basis, of fundraisers. No one had to pay anything, and no one was pressured into paying anything. How is it structured for most Christian branches and churches? [/quote]
