Show Me the Money
Hypothetical Scenario:
Joe Preacher is a pastor of a 20 person congregation...and the church size has been around this same relative number for the past 15 years. Joe Preacher just doesn't seem to attract a following, not because of anything morally wrong, but simply because he is a dull speaker, has a monotone voice and really does not go into much depth in his teachings. So, most who visit, simply do not stick around. However, there is one member, Daddi Warbux, of this small congregation that earns $80 million annually. Should Daddi be tithing $8 million a year (10%) to this church and should Joe Preacher live as a millionaire as a result of this one person's tithing?
What say ye?

Yes. What's the point of your question? Is Joe Preacher complacent because he is a millionaire and lost his burden to win souls?

Yes. If this is his home church, then he should be tithing to this house and yes--Joe Preacher reaps the benefits. Daddi Warbux is obviously a smart man if he earns $80 million annually. If he wants to sit and listen to, and bless a dull, boring speaker by being there, that's his business.

Sounds like someone came into money and does not want to pay tithes. That is what greed does to a person. Muzzle not the ox!!!

So y'all think this pastor should get the whole $8 million? Maybe all this money is the reason why he is so boring. Nothing left to work for, ya know?
