re: Tired Of Pinching Pennies!!

I respect the commitment to tithing as I agree it's very important. But I disagree that the amount is important, particularly if you can't put gas in your car. See Mark 12:41-44 and the widow's two coins.

Another way to glorify God is to put yourself in the best financial situation possible so you can give to the church with time and offerings, which may mean you give more time now, and more offerings later. You aren't helping your family or the church by strapping yourself like this, as the self-inflicted stress will negatively affect your life as a Christian, husband, and father.

No judgment here, as we are all works in progress
