Money and Churches. Its an issue. You ask anybody about why they aren't attending church, one of the top answers will be money.
I've seen many examples of church and money difficulties. Probably the worst being where a staff family made over 100K per year, when families making 15% of that were sacrificing to support the church.
So I want to cover a few bases in this series.
1. Who should take the responsible role in this situation, the church or the member?
2. What is the current giving situation?
3. What do _I_ propose as a fix?
4. Do I even think its broken?
5.... we'll see where this goes, but for now just the first four.
This series will get a few people fired up. I have the first couple written and will post over time.
