According to recent statistics, 92% of consistent American churchgoers give less than 2% of their income to their local church. Is this a form of “Christian Atheism”? Yes. We look toward heaven and ask why God is not blessing us or helping us, answering our prayers, loving us, protecting and providing for us… and yet we live in constant disobedience to God and God’s Word. When we surrender every area of our lives to God, including our giving & finances, we will see God and Jesus Christ in new and exciting ways.
