I would say that I can see this as a wonderful idea, personally.
And this is something I believe I will do at the next church I'm employed by, by my own choice. If I don't have it to begin with, I'll not be tempted to forget, misuse, or overspend our budget, this way. :thumbs:
But I would not take any job where this was a condition of that employment.
That said, as our Moderator, I believe I'll ask our church treasurer to start doing that for me now, by taking it out of the check I'm paid, on a 'trial basis', since I believe I can fairly easily adapt to the change.

Let's see, right now, that would be 10% of noth....
Chuck, starting a thread on tithing from any perspective is like saying sic-'em to a dog.
And don't worry about blood pressure.
It's pretty high around here, anyway.
It was in place before my friend came on staff, how long I don’t know.
I don’t know if anyone would lose the job over this or not. It sounds like it is a condition of employment to me.
My friend is fine with it. He never really asked any questions about it. He is a tither anyway and this makes it easy for him. He said the way it was brought to him was from the personnel committee before he was hired. Kind of a "this is what we do here can you live with that" sort of thing.
Again I didn’t mean to stir things up, let’s change to a less of a hot button issue. How do you feel about contemporary Christian music being used in worship?
