Quitting giving to church

[Nehemiah6]

rich people dont need your money...they already have heaps.

And therein lies the problem. Their greed knows no bounds, therefore they always want more. What is extremely ironical is that the billionaires who have all benefited from the capitalistic economies are now using their billions to DESTROY the West, and establish Communism and lawlessness throughout the Western world. Which shows that they are blind and under Satanic control. In fact those at the very top are Satanists.

regarding membership, once you 'join' a church spiritually, God counts you as a member...for life. He writes you in His book of life.

Whether you attend a church or not is your business.

You dont really need to notify anyone you are leaving because people will just know you arent there anymore. I mean they will cotton on. They are not stupid. If all they are after is your money they will send you a bill no?

This year I have not given money to my church so far primarily because I did not feel connected to my church. More specifically I was not connected to my church physically (everything has been remote, which isn't an excuse), but more importantly I felt my church (pastor and most members) was too political which became quite evident during the election season. So this year, I have been "lazy" about giving even though I intended to but just put it off because I was plain annoyed. I have also been thinking of changing churches for awhile once I return to my work city. In any case, I will give the full amount I intended to give at the beginning of the year this month. However, next year, I do not plan to give to this specific church but I will give to another church or to a Christian charity.

My questions are, do you think I should continue giving to this church if I don't find a new church next year?

Do I need to notify my church about my membership and tell them I may not/won't be giving next year? Regarding membership, what I have observed is that people plan/or move but do not notify the church. So our membership count is much higher than people in attendance. This seems to be quite common.

We are supposed to give 10% from what we have. For me it is financial, time,prayer,etc. But I do it with a willing heart. If you do not feel led to give to the church,perhaps give where God is leading you to give. It is not for me to say. I listen to the Holy Spirit.
