The love of money is the root of all EVIL...

Well, let me start by saying that I am not about to sit here and write a bunch of scriptures or preach by any means. This post is created from my personal viewpoint, I welcome all readers of any religion and respect differences of opinions..In other words, you do not have to agree with my views, but I do ask you respect it

From my personal experience NOT all, but most church organizations today require high maintenance from its congregates. What ever happen to the family unit of church and true Christian teaching? Why do some churches not speak on certain topics like divorce, adultery, homosexuality, murder, stealing, killing, etc...What happen to the basic knowledge of the word? Have many leaders in  the christian organizations conformed to catering to audiences that bring in the most prof$t?

What do I mean by high maintenance is exactly what it means. Constantly burdening down church members with limited income for a buck. Persistent car washes, bake sales, fish fries, and programs to raise money for building funds instead helping needy families. But most importantly, why does the preacher not have a job? Since when did it become scriptural or ethical for a minister to make financial profit off a church congregation.

My personal understanding of the bible is that Jesus died to save mankind from eternal damnation and through him by believing there is everlasting life. Lately, an altar call is done instantly after a collection offering or the healing line is based off how much "seed" ($$$) is sown... And..let's not forget the overall money-maker tithes and offering. Why is it that this means financial giving? Do churches not believe in other forms of tithes and offerings like food, shelter clothing, time, goods, etc..

But, most importantly teachings and preaching on the christian living life. I personally do not believe in judging, hating or discriminating against anyone that does not believe all things about the bible or God. However, that does not mean I will not offer or explain my beliefs when given the opportunity. So, why do churches shy away from topics of divorce, adultery, homosexuality, murder, stealing, killing, etc...I personally feel most money-making preachers are fearful of offending. So, here would be some helpful approaches on these topics...

1) If a person is in the church, a preacher's job is to speak the word in its entirety, no sugarcoating, no half truths.

2) If a person does not agree with the church teachings, they have a right to not attend the church.

3) No-one should be under any financial obligation to a church (members, visitors, etc)

4) Everyone should feel loved and welcomed in a church regardless of race, sexual orientation, or religion (Many forget that God is the only Judge)

5) If a church is able to help someone it should not require a membership, financial tithing history, or a status..Preachers should only use gifts of discernment to expose any deception. 

6) Allow God to run the ministry

Bottom line you either please God or man...Choice is yours!
