Find a church that follows the bible and not someone's own agenda. These are the places that have ppl so against church and even worse Christ these days. If you go to a church and feel like they want your money then you need to find a different church ASAP. If your in the right church, you will know it because you will want to be there worshipping and being part of god's movement throughout that church and the communities that it is affecting. If you feel like your buying some guys luxury car with your tithes, you need to find a new church not stop tithing. Tithing is from god, not being good stewards of it is not of god. Time to find a church that is on track with the bible and God.

Point well made man. I respect the sanctity of the house of God very much. Yes you are correct that everyone has to find a place they feel like is right for them. If it's a multi million dollar church that owns six city blocks then go. If it's a country church that still does dinner on the grounds after sunday school then go. If it's your deer stand or duck blind where you sit there and look at God's creation alone and thank him for making and protecting something as small as you then go. Not everyone walks the same path but I refuse to believe multiple good paths won't meet at the end.
