I thoroughly enjoyed today's show and look forward to reading more about the Barna Group study in the book. This subject is so important for every Christian to grasp. We DO influence our world one way or another. Which way will we choose?

Great interview with Barna Research Group president. I liked his comment about the media--that sometimes we give the media too much credit in influencing spirituality--that culture changes only through individuals, through love & community, and through the Holy Spirit. Loved it. You rock!

Joseph Rojas Interview 3/6/08 -- Amy, I truly connected with what he was saying except for doing drugs & alcohol. I hung out with those people though. The Lord grabbed my heart when I was about 10 yrs old. But, I didn't get saved until I was 14 yrs old. I was the person who was trying to witness to the druggies & alcoholic teens. I don't know how many were saved because they didn't tell me so. But, I prayed very hard for them. Thank you Joseph.

A generation of young Americans is rejecting a Christianity they perceive to be antihomosexual, too political, and hypocritical, according to a new study from the Barna Group. The findings, presented in a new book, reveal what Christianity looks like to people ages 16-29 outside the church. "unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity...and Why It Matters" is a portrait of a faith and its followers perceived to be anything but Christlike. A huge chunk of a new generation has concluded they want nothing to do with Christianity. The title of the book, "unChristian," reflects their most common reaction to the faith: they think Christians are no longer what Jesus had in mind. Join me as author David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Research Group shares practical ideas on how the church can move from an unChristian faith to an authentic expression of the message of Jesus. Be ready with your questions!

You get up. You eat breakfast (or not). You go to work. You eat lunch. You come home. You have dinner. You go to bed. For most, the routine leaves little time for anything else. The results are usually shallow relationships with our friends, families, and our Maker. But, when your head hits the pillow at the end of the day, do you ever question if you've made the wrong things important?
North Carolina-born singer/songwriter Warren Barfield is on a mission to make the truly important things important again in his life. Things like faith, love, marriage, children, truth, and with his songs, he challenges us all to do the same. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live." Warren has found those things in his faith, his wife, and his belief in love. "These are the things I would die for; things I will wake up every morning and spend my day fighting for." Listen in as Warren talks about how he lives intentionally and hear a few tracks of his music - a mix of pop, rock, folk, and soul.

As a devoted follower of Christ, I am in many ways saddened by the state of the Christian Church as an institution, and I will be addressing some of those issues in upcoming blogs. There are many who share my thoughts. On Monday morning I listed my status on Facebook as “Frustrated with Organized Religion.” For the next day my email inbox sounded like popcorn - I was peppered with responses from people who wholeheartedly agree with that statement. These people aren’t atheists or people of other religions, they are fellow Christians. Here are some of the comments:
If Christians are angry and bitter about what’s going on in the Church, imagine how outsiders and seekers must feel?
What prompted me to make the statement “Frustrated with organized religion?” Sunday after church, my husband and I had a frustrating disagreement with one of our pastors about, among other things, the practice of tithing. We have very different concepts about what constitutes tithing and it developed into a rather heating and awkward exchange.
In my mind, Christians are to not only to support the local church, but the broader church and overall human condition. That means supporting other ministries and worthwhile charities beyond one single church congregation. Likewise, if we attend a church outside of our local area while traveling, that congregation receives our tithe for that particular week.
The issue arose when this pastor suggested that it was not biblical to give a portion of our tithe to an organization other than our home church. Our first priority was to pay administrative costs etc. so that our congregation could stay afloat. A full 10 percent of our gross income was to be giving to the church; any additional giving beyond that would be sacrificial.
Ironically, we had just watched a video on Compassion, and thinking beyond ourselves to care for “the least of these.” There are beautiful souls around the world that are struggling for survival and live lives of complete despair. The poverty is real and heartbreaking. In my mind, caring for them is at least as important as making sure the heat is on in the church building.
I decided to delve more deeply into the issue of tithing by referencing the instruction manual, the Holy BIble. This is what I found:
You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.
“Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 2If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.
“At the end of every third year, bring the entire tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in the nearest town. Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all your work.
While Scripture clearly states that we are to support the Church, the last few verses also state that a portion of our tithe should be given to widows and orphans.
I’m certainly not trying to nickel and dime our giving; on the contrary, my husband and I donate far more than 10 percent whenever possible. Obviously, if people don’t give generously to their local churches, they will cease to exist. But I think this argument is a symptom of what’s wrong with the Church at large and what turns so many off from Christianity. What’s at stake here is far larger than how much money lands in the offering plate. This is an issue of legalism and boxing in the Gospel.
I’d love your comments. What constitutes a tithe according to your interpretation of Scripture? Does it really matter where we donate our money as long as it is helping others?
