There are many places where the Bible says we ought to give to. It talks of the tithes being used to help the poor and oppressed. They were also to be used to put on a big feast, a big party, with lots of food. But it also mentions that the tithes were to be given to the place of worship. The local sanctuary or the temple in Jerusalem.
Some people complain church and ministry is costing so much money.
He was a delight to our hearts, but he was always costing me something. He needed clothing, shoes, food, and had special needs that I gladly provided, for he was my son. Then one day he died. It was an experience that I hope you will never have. He does not cost me a dollar now.
