Use of the Church Treasury

The example for what we do concerning giving (what we call worship) was for the poor saints in Jerusalem. We have changed that to using the funds mostly for our own benefit. Helping the poor appears to not be an option whether they be in or out of the called out. Preachers, buildings, secretaries, church supplies, pews etc are not addressed in the bible making them non biblical. Not wrong, just not biblical. Being not biblical means we can do whatever we like. Our (worship) contribution should go to helping the poor.That's what the purpose was for the collection we use as an example. The purpose for a Sunday collection then was for convenience which has been made law. Does someone see Pharisee?

All members of an organization should be willing to support the activities of that organization. When the leadership decides on an activity it is a reasonable expectation the members of that group will support the activities. That is reason enough to keep the membership informed and involved. Of course the organization has or at least most organizations have a limit to their funds and that limits what the organization can do.
