I am not sure if the older preachers thought of it as tithing, but I remember in the 40-50s era when a church became more than one pastor could handle within reason, new churches were birthed. I believe at every church my dad pastored at least one church was born, and not out of discord.Yes I want to hear more…________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
If you tithe wheat or cash, it doesn’t complain. What if ‘your’ faithful member does not want to be put in the offering plate….or drive another 30 miles to church and not get to see the brothers and sisters he/she has grown close to________________
Reminds me of the joke about 3 local preachers bragging about the results of their recent revivals. Pastor #1 – Praise God, after our revival we gained 4 new members. Pastor #2 – Praise God, after revival we gained 6 new members
Are you suggesting that pastors on the receiving end of these tithes might have a Malachi 1:8moment? I’m looking forward to hearing the story. hahahahahahahahahahahaha ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
I don’t guess it was like a draft, but at our church the men of the church voted to open a church in an area where folks were driving 5-15 miles to church. It was agreed upon to ask publicly who would like to transfer their membership for a year, stay then if they liked or return to the mother church.The overseer agreed to ask the larger church pastors in the area if they would like to offer members the opportunity to get in on the opening. some did. The churches created are doing well…. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
