You couldn't pay me to be a preacher.

There's not enough money in the world, because money's got nothing to do with it.

Why are some people obsessed with their church's finances?

"Because half our church's budget goes straight into salaries!"

What does that say about your church? It says if your membership followed Scripture, instead of the balance sheet, and tithed as we're commanded, salaries wouldn't come close to 50%.

It also says your Youth Group wouldn't have to do Car Washes and Slave Auctions to fund their summer retreats, either.

Christ talked a lot about money. Check the Gospels, and see for yourself.

And not one time did he say to keep more of it for yourself, or to ever deny giving back to God what's already his.
