Thanks for commenting on my blog! I appreciate it. I like your blog roll, big fan of several of those. Kiva is awesome as well.
Chris, let me ask you. What does it meant to give a tithe to God? does it mean giving it to a non-profit organization that has a guy who is a good speaker, and some musicians? What is God's heart and intention for His tithe?
What is a church? Aren't we all "The Church"? Aren't we corporately Jesus' body and Church? Aren't I His temple? Who is a priest/pastor? Is there not a "Priesthood of all believers" ? If I get together with my friend, are we a church? do you have to have 501-3c status to be a church? Do you have to preach a sermon on Sundays to be a church?
Thinking about these questions, I think our common definition of "church" is too narrow and unbiblical.
