Giving is God's Way to Fund the Gospel***I heard some say, Lord meet my needs, and this is correct but also selfish***we should pray for God to Bless Us so we have overflow***it sounds spiritual to be just having our needs met, like we are not asking for too much; but God wants to Bless Us and entrust us with money to fund the Gospel***I really don't think we start giving unto we tithe---that belongs to the Lord---once we go above the tithe we are giving***Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye measure it shall be measured to you again." ***some will dispute this approach, but after 40 years of "watching" and testing and seeing the results I am convinced this approach is correct***I can say with confidence that if you are having financial troubles you should begin tithing and see God get you out of trouble***pay your bills off and work up to the tithe and then go beyond the tithe***their is no place in Scripture where we can test God except in giving (Malachi 3:10)...

Who are you talking about giving to in order to fund this gospel?

are you talking about giving to the vatican that is already so wealthy that it is given the same status as a actual country?

Or a "mom and pop" church that may really need the money?

And, just who is it that 'decides' this? You? Me? Or, perhaps, each person for themselves?
