So, let me say it again, a little differently.
You don’t need a church to be a Christian, but maybe the church needs you.
Drifting From Church Reason #5: “The church is all about money.”
The church does need money to operate, and that won’t change. However, I can tell you that no church I know of charges you to attend. It’s free. That’s a great deal!
You can experience, enjoy, and benefit from all your church offers for no charge at all — not many places like that.
The pastor may talk about money, but it’s an invitation to give, not a mandate. You don’t have to, and you really don’t.
Your pastor is just talking about what the Bible says. If the church has a strong vision, I’m certain they will seek financial resources to fulfill that vision, but that vision is all about reaching more people.
My strong hunch is that your church really isn’t all about money.
Here’s a helpful suggestion for you. Read what the Bible says about giving, and ask God what He wants you to do, and do that.
Make it about you and God. No one else. Tell God what you think about giving to the church, He will listen. Then listen to what He says to you.
I genuinely hope this has been helpful and encouraging to you. Please feel free to leave a comment below.
