The Folly of American Churches

I wonder if American church pastors have an internal dialogue like this, "Wow we are getting so much money in tithes to our church! What should we do with all this extra money? Should we give it to the poor? To starving children in Africa or to help the homeless? No...we'll just build a church building twice the size of ours now! Then we can get more people in and more tithe money!" Hm...well hopefully that's not exactly how they think, but their actions seem to show that's how they think. Ah our American churches. No one ever stops to think if we are doing things biblically at all with money given to the church. So sad... 🙁 What would Jesus do? Jesus would probably say, "Have church at the park and then go give your tithe to buying clothes and food for the homeless." And then maybe, just maybe then, the rest of America would believe it when Christians say they are Christian. ;)
