Tithe if you love Jesus

Anyone can honk


Seriously, that is what is on the "create-a-sign" sign out front of a local church. I am not a fan of those signs to start with. That statement is just one of the plethora of reasons why. As a non-member, I find it tacky. As a Christian I think it is tacky. Maybe the person that thought it was funny ran it by a couple of parishioners and they all had a chuckle and decided it would work. I think they missed the mark. People already think church just wants my money. Now the church is admitting it. Maybe I took it wrong initially. Maybe they really are exercising truth in advertising. They want your money.

Even worse (in my opinion) than that statement being posted, is they tend to leave the sign up for weeks. Last year they had an Easter sign. I don't remember what it said, but was worded very strangely. It was up for 6 weeks. Every time I drove by it, I thought how weird it was.

Some might argue this is great, I've thought about their Church everyday. I beg to differ. I thought about "that ridiculous sign church."

Also there is no such tithe required for the Body of Christ to tithe anything.
