Which reminded me, they also have <a href="http://churchsearch2.9marks.org/" rel="nofollow">an online church directory</a> that might be worth checking out.

One site I've been enjoying is <a href="http://www.reformedreader.org/" rel="nofollow">The Reformed Reader</a> and that site has an <a href="http://www.reformedreader.org/rbchurches.htm" rel="nofollow">International Reformed Baptist Church Directory</a>. I think that would be a good starting point for searching. I know for churches listed in my area they don't practice legalistic games like "tithing". Hi there Sojourner.

I'd never even heard of tithing in all my years of being a Christian or church member, which has been almost 60 years, until hearing of tithing around the mid-eighties or early nineties. It so happens that I have always been a generous person and blessed to be able to give over 10%. But after being introduced to "tithing" and constantly being beaten up with the ill-explained version of the Law of the tithe I've just grown weary; and in my frustrations began sending most of my money outside of my church, to something else that is near and dear to me--MISSIONS. At first this caused me to have feelings of guilt, which led me to leave the church because I felt it was sort of disloyal, but I was loving sending money to mission work much more than supporting that church. Now, unfortunately, though I'm diligently searching, I'm currently not a "member" of any church, but I know I should be. I have little hope of finding a church where, no matter which chapter/verse of the Scriptures are read, the sermon is ALWAYS going to end up being about tithing. Since God still works miracles, there is some hope (please, God) Any prayers, godly advice or godly comments are welcome. Thanks.

Because a true chruch elder, never speaks lies like Jakes speaks. No true elder denies the triune nature of God, no true elder dodges when confronted by Muslims and no true elder dodges when asked about the sin of homosexuality.

So Victoryle you are the one who should STOP, take your own advice, go read your Bible and pray God help you understand the truth of Matthew 23 and 1 Timothy 6. The guidance is right there in the pages of your Bible.

Who would want to come against a man of GOD? Would would want to come against his kingdom? These things you say about the church and Bishop Jakes is of satan. If there was someone out there reading this site looking for direction, seeking out a refuge from sin and self destruction wanting something that would give him peace of mind, spirit, and soul thinking of living a saved and santified life in Chirst, reading your comments may cause him/her to turn away and go back into the world? Don't allow the enemy to use you to tear down the kingdom of God!! Whatever your thoughts, whatever you don't understand don't cause a soul to be lost forever!! just pray that the Lord will give you devine wisdom, guidance, and understanding that you may forgive and accept what he as Lord forgives.
