a pretty great commission

Years ago when I was going to plant a church someone told me that all I needed to do was collect ten tithers… ten people who would tithe 10% of their income. That would give me enough income to meet their average income. Made sense. So, for all you church planters out there: easy-peasy.

I never did find ten tithers. Turns out that’s who I wasn’t looking for anyway.

I’m not against tithing or tithers. Lisa and I did it our whole church lives. I didn’t teach it though. I don’t regret it. Now we find other ways and means to be generous.
