Our pastor will tell you, if you don't have it, don't give it. We offer what we can but we also volunteer heavily. I teach 3&4 year old children's church Sunday mornings and my husband and I are in charge of big kid games on Wednesday nights. We also bring a covered dish for dinners and help with other aspects. Before we started going to church I thought it was only money too, but I was quickly proven wrong lol

Some religions require a 10% monetary tithe. They even ask to see tax returns to prove the 10%.

I think it's a heart issue. There are very few verses that deal with the 10% Cain and Abel is a classic example of what I'm referring to.

I agree. I also believe tithing can be done outside the church. Like when you dobate, or volunteer.

Technically speaking, it's all an offering. Tithing is what was law in the OT. In the NT it doesn't command or even recommend that a Christian (if we're talking Christian here) must submit to a legalistic tithing system.
Either way I get what you're saying. I do still feel it's good to offer money as well as time, especially if it's your home church.

I completely agree with the OPs pastor. You really think god wants your family to do with out? I don't think so. And really god isn't getting the money. Ever wonder why pastors of big churches can afford half million dollar homes, nice fancy cars? The church goers pay for it.

Would you be ok with an 8yr old constantly correcting you?
