Money and power make a man run a show (church service) , and when it's over he moves up another rung , but it's the deaf and dumb that get stung.....God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.... an organic or “hippie” church – which is my take on freedom to serve though jesus cannot be run like a business.

But my question is where is it in the Bible(what scripture) does it say 10% is what you should give. Who came up w/that? I can't find it in the Bible.

A house church doesn't mean that the conventional church discrepancies are actually fixed. -Jared Tracy,

It was pretty much a one man show, he was a prophet and everyone apparently attended to get a word from him or to hear what God had given him. The main guy gave the sermon, but instead of behind a pulpit, he was sitting in a chair in a room full of others in chairs. I got the feeling you didn't interact or ask questions or make comments during his message any more than you would in a church service. There was a definite "order" to the day, songs, offering and tithes (he believed in tithing), and sermon, and prayer and ministry. I know they are not all like that, but God was able to use it to show me just because it's house church doesn't mean it's right either.
