Many people in the church today believe that tithes should be redirected based on their opinions of what church leaders are doing or not doing. Is it our responsibility to decide where to return our tithes? Additionally, does God still expect New Testament Christians to contribute their tithes to the church?

Sometimes, God asks us to do things that might seem illogical. We often think, "It just doesn't add up." This is particularly true with the tithe, which He commands us to return to Him. Is the practice of tithing biblical? If so, can we choose where our tithe should go?

The Christian path is not linear but rather an upward trajectory. We are called to abound in the love of God within our spiritual lives and relationships, resisting the temptation to believe that the best is behind us.

Abuse is more common in our churches than many realize. Many people carry the pain, shame, and fear associated with it. Understanding God helps us see that abuse is not just a social issue; it involves matters of the heart, human dignity, safety, justice, and spiritual responsibility.

Jesus' command is simple yet profoundly demanding: "Love one another as I have loved you." Christians readily affirm this, but living it out presents challenges in today's world. What would it look like if we truly embraced this command?
