    Why I Quit Tithing

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,195 views

    Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more
