Early in life, I was taught to tithe to God’s house as giving to the Lord. Today, while I know that we need budgets in the Lord’s work, I feel strongly that giving, as part of our worship should not be referred to as budget giving.
This terminology certainly doesn’t inspire me as a Christian. Budgets are very painful at times while giving to the Lord is a pleasure because of the wonderful gift of salvation and many other gifts He has given to me.
Perhaps our budgets would fare better if we as Christians could think of it as gifts to the Lord instead of a budget.
