I...Hi Pastor Dickie, my name is Joshua Hendrickson. I've been involved with the Team since April of 2007, and I've just recently started doing an almost daily Bible study with an old high school friend. He actually has 20 some people showing up at his house for it, and sometimes it's at other people's homes. Anyway, I have a couple questions for you. They worship in this way (without going to church) because they believe the word of God is meant to be learned and read either by themselves, or in groups because they "don't know of anyplace in the Bible that says you're supposed to have a Pastor teach you about God and faith". Is there something I could point out to them that they're missing? Also, I have a question regarding tithing ... what is the definition? I know you're supposed to tithe 10% of your income, but does the Bible specify where the money is supposed to go? Does it have to be a Church, or can it be put to use in any way that it could further the gospel or do God's work (such as charities, or the M.O.R.E. Project)?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your time, I think I'm going to start reading this blog more regularly ... it's kind of under-promoted :)<BR/><BR/>God Bless,<BR/>Joshua Hendricksonjshendrickson1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15745390818478932495noreply@blogger.com
