    My husband and I were at Athens Church (Andy Stanley) one morning and they played a Dave Ramsey video. We were livid! We didn’t get up early and get dressed for that! We finally left there after going for 3 years. We found a small Baptist church and our Pastor preaches the gospel every single Sunday!

I give outside the church as I feel lead. Churches should not ask for a tithe. Tithing money isn't even in the bible.

    I'm a pastor of a very small new start church. i work a job to help pay bills. i made a comment in one of our district pastors meetings that the topic of discussion sounded more to me like we were trying to figure out ways to keep the money machine crankin than reaching lost people. seems i have not made any friends with comments like that. But it is true making money seems to be a main focus these days.

    I was part of a similar church in Australia a number of years ago... this is making me twitch. All of this was common in my old church. The money talks, the manipulation, the drive for more new people at the expense of discipling the faithful sheep. The PTSD is kicking in. I'm so thankful that God gave me eyes to see the lies and saved me and my wife from this futility.

      I wonder how you think a being can be pure and righteous when commands his followers to commit genocide, or purposely hardens someones hard against him and then punishes that person for having a hardened hard? Also, how do you know that everyones righteous actions is solely for selfish reasons? Are you physic? Can you see everyone's motivations? Or do you just believe everyone is a shitty person because that's what you've been conditioned to believe? Can people in your mind not want to be philanthropic because they just want better world in the here and now without any guilt or motivation by superstition? And even if someones philanthropy was motivated by selfish reasons like wanting to be remembered, that doesn't negate the good act itself.

      Anyone who goes to a church that asks for money or a certain percentage is not a church. We are suppose to help the church, but not required to give so much. I love the Orthodox church and the best one to trust. Please learn and read the orthodox bible and ask questions before you point fingers for we were first . Catholics wanted to change things and that is one reason we split, we WERE NOT going to accept changes to what was given to us. Also the infallibility of the Pope playing God over all Christians. The Patriarche is the leader of the Greek Orthodox, and another one is for Russians and another for the other individual, The only full leader of our church is Jesus Christ Himself!!!!!!!

My sister went to a church about 20 years ago and the pastor scolded and preached about tithing and then passed out an entire box of tithing envelopes to everyone in the congregation! She felt horrible as she had no income to tithe from.

    I came out of a prosperity church a couple of years ago, although I was raised baptist.
    one thing they always do is hype up the offering, they use music to sway your emotions and then they tell you GOD will only bless you if you give to the church,
    its also always at least 30 minutes long and by the time your done you realized you just gave money for 3 or 4 causes and they make bank!!!
    its a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!

      You know I never realised that ALL these Pentecostal/Charismatic churches were preaching a prosperity gospel. Some of them sound legit, but you read between the lines and almost every sermon (if not EVERY sermon) is about giving money and being blessed.
      The devil is cunning in his deceit and he uses subtlety to great effect.
      This emerging church is all about money and steering people away from the Lord too.
      What gets me is that so many people are flocking to these churches.
      I mean if I had a spiritual need and sought God and went to Joel Osteen's church, after a couple of weeks I would realise that I'm not being fed and would leave.
      The question is, is it a lack of common sense or is it a lack of the spirit of discernment. I dont understand how people feel like they're being fed and are growing spiritually at these churches.

    The mega church I came out of the Pastor and his (Pastrix) wife are at the top of the pyramid scheme. They have four estates (a few lakefront) each with a value of about one million dollars. The only way they could have afforded this was off the backs of those people who were told that God would pour them out a blessing when they gave their hard earned money when they passed the bucket. (I guess a bucket is supposed to make you want to give more).
    I am so glad my eyes were opened to the prosperity gospel and now have nothing to do with this church. I sincerely hope others open their eyes to these wolves and get into the Word of God and see what it says for yourself.

    This video is awesome! I think all Christians should watch this and be aware of what your churches are telling you and how they are leading you. This critique continually goes back to what is important--that Jesus died for us to save us from our own death in sin and coming judgement of our heavenly Father who is loving and just. Stewardship matters, but THIS--this gospel truth is WHY we come together--not to be financially free, but to be free from the weight of our sin. Make sure THIS IS what your church is teaching you. Don't get caught up in feeding the beast of the megachurch--you will regret it. I promise you.

    My old church held FPU classes as well. My wife and I went through it and learned a lot about managing money. Within just a few years we're almost debt free, to include our home being paid off. Two college loans of ours, thousands of dollars racked up from poor choices, car loans, etc all paid off by using the technique he's teaching. Now we pay cash for everything, even for our two son's colleges. It truly was life changing once we knew how money actually worked.
    With all of that said, it shouldn't have been a Sunday Worship service presentation. Not being a slave to the lender is a biblical principle. Overall when churches bring this program in it does seem that being able to give more to the church seems to be the underlying theme they want you to take away. What good does it do to teach someone how to live debt free if you don't teach them about Christ who made the ultimate debt payment?

    2 CoR 9:7 “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” And
    1 Corinthians 16:1-2 “Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also: On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.” It’s implied “tithing” is “giving” so tithing is implied in the New Testament.

      @reedermh 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Paul said he was the apostle to the Gentiles. They would not have known the Jewish Law. So how can it be implied that the tithe was still applicable? And what about Acts 15 where the very nature of the conference was how much, if any, of the Law still applied? The response didn't mention giving in ANY manner, much less the tithe.

    David Ramsey's financial principles are sound in terms of staying out of debt but his understanding of Scripture is limited in my opinion. The Bible is a story of man's falling away from God and God giving us a path back to God via the Salvation Jesus gave us on the cross.

    Make no mistake, this is a profit-sharing venture. The church will put it on all the home groups as a mandatory task, which will guarantee sales of X number of units. The church will buy the units in bulk at a discount and then sell to the people at sticker price. Church pockets the difference. That’s why they’re so motivated to sell this on Ramsey’s behalf. He’s financially rewarding them for the hard sales pitch. It’s MLM 101. If your church is big enough to buy XX units, you can spend enough to get a personal visit. Ramsey builds his empire, churches get a cut of the profit, and poor people must pay-to-play if they want to advance in ministry.

    I love three mega-churches that don't focus heavily on money. Two are in California an one is in Georgia. David Jeremiah is the lead pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church who focuses on series based on books of the bible and so does the ministry of Dr. Roger Spradlin, and Dr. Phil Neighbors who are co-senior pastors of Valley Baptist Church in Bakersfield California. In Georgia we have First Baptist Church of Atlanta which is lead by Dr. Charles Stanley who has taught through the Bible over 40 years and was one of the most reluctant Southern Baptist Convention President.

He was the anti-this. yeah, even then, he seemed too stuck in the idea that financial security was the thing. but I thought, hey, that's his call and people need someone to help them learn to do the basics and figure out which disability insurance you need and which is a scam, that sort of thing.

  • @Vitaconfide
    @Vitaconfide 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    My wife and I took the financial peace class when we got married. The class gave us insight on how to manage the money God provides. Giving was one session out of several and didn't seem to encourage anything crazily unbiblical. This church is knowingly or not misrepresenting the class to influence its congregation. I think Dave Ramsey knows this, that he is a kick in the pants to someone who struggles with debt. His intensity is shocking, especially to those who need to be called out of a lifestyle of debt. I hope all is not lost for Dave and it's a shame his material is being abused by churches for monetary gain. On a side note, I have gone back to the materials (the class cost is for books, cds, work books, a filing system, and maybe more) many times for advice when financial situations arise. The materials explain concepts plainly and have helped prepare me for the language that financial advisors, tax preparer, and other people use. I'm just a worship leader, I'm not a financial guru.

      Aaron Smith Was Jesus rich? He gave up everything and became human and died on a cross. God is concerned with your eternal life not your money. I'm not saying that money is evil and you should be poor, but tell somebody who has cancer to tithe. The bible proclaims we were made to glorify God not to live comfortably. There are people who are called by God to die for their faith, and Jesus calls us all to hate our own life and everything in it, then we are worthy to be his disciples. God bless you!

    I was raised in a very famous church, you've probably seen their music on television. I began realising how phoney it all was when I went to bible college (night school) run by a separate university - for one assignment, I taught a whole lesson using 'sayings', not scripture and wrapped it up by asking my fellow students "now who said that in history?" - they were all throwing books of the bible at me. They were appalled when they realised they'd been conned by 'fortune cookie Christianity' (for the record I did not lie or misrepresent any of these sayings as scripture). My next lesson, I opened with: "Don't be a M***F---er, God hates M***F---er's! Now let us turn to Leviticus chapter 20" - the lesson was a warning to Christians who use the "New Covenant" through Christ as an excuse to throw out the Old Testament. (for those playing at home - all Mitzvah's in the OT are reiterated in the NT, the way we meet some of these Mitzvah's and the penalty for breaking some of them have changed because Christ pre-paid for us, but the rules still exist). The final straw that caused my family to leave the phoney music church was when we sat through a Sunday morning and realised that the bible was never opened, and the word of God was not mentioned - NOT EVEN ONCE!!! We now attend a church that uses expositional teaching - the entire bible, chapter by chapter and verse by verse. No more money grabs (they don't even talk about it during service unless money/tithes are mentioned in the scripture we're up to that week), no more emotionally manipulative rock concerts, no more guilt trips for not volunteering because I was busy saving lives at work..... I feel like I've been let out of the matrix

      I agree because Luther himself was a catholic monk. The early Lutheran churches copied the mass liturgy music and worship service order. Bach wrote Masses and hundreds of chorales in the protestant doctrine. So I make a distinction between the worship service order and the doctrine of the Protestants. I also make a distinction between the different protestant (Methodist, ELCA Lutheran, Disciples of Christ and Presbyterian) denominations and the Missouri Synod Lutheran and Baptists, and Free churches. Your comment is vague because you don't say what you mean by get back to the original plan. Thanks for your reply!
