Advice on Tithing
I could use some advice from those of you who believe in tithing. Most of you know that I do not have a home church. There is a church, here in town, that I have visited a few times, but nothing has been decided on whether to make it our home church or not. I believe in tithing and have realized that I have neglected this aspect of my walk because of not having a home church. My idea is to give the tithes to different ministries I happen to believe in. One example would be a missionary I know about. I may give part of the tithes to the church I have been visiting, but I don't really feel any sense of obligation to give all the tithes to just this one church. What do you all think of giving the tithes to different ministries until I can find a home church?

I personally think that it's all right till you find a home church to give it to different ministries... preferably one you know something about. But it's more important that you find a home church. I had a saint once that asked if he could suport a ministry outside of our church and I was fine with that. But not all pastors feel that way.

When I have been "between" churches, I have given my tithes to where ever I was getting my food from.

Rico, I don't think there's a thing wrong with that. I don't think you have to explain it, either. I would keep in mind how much you were "getting" from the church you're attending. I don't mean money or whatever, I mean how involved you were, etc. I wouldn't want to be a burden on the church, if possible.

Quite simply, I believe any deep contemplation about this matter is a diversion of the weighter matters you are struggling with. Please don't take me wrong Rico... I am not judging you in any way - only going by some of your statements and acknowledgements here and in other threads.
