You can read the introduction, who I think is responsible, the current situation, some things to fix it, went over a reader recommended 'why' a person should give, and now I'll wrap it all up.
I've given some post here that may fire people up. Some may think, "Who are you to think you know everything about this?" Or that I just don't understand. Or a similar question posed to me recently regarding a real life situation, "What makes you think you know better than the people God has put in the positions to make these decisions?"
I certainly don't know everything, but I certainly do understand. People leave churches all the time due to money, the church (especially leadership) is called to leave the 99 to save the 1 and they should be working to save the many who have left due to this topic. The current setup is broke, there are way to many public financial scandals to call it OK. Being a church goer I also know that what we hear about on the news is only the tip of the ice burg. There are some things that it doesn't take a "calling from God" into an official position, or a masters in church functions to figure out. Finances is clearly one of those topics in today's church.
You'll notice that I didn't cover the televangelist and other similar ministries. Honestly... don't think they are worth the space on my blog.
So that's what I have to say on the topic. Hope you found it of some interest.
