Most people think money is evil. We need to be taught correctly about money as a talent God has given. We must bring all our finances under the authority of Jesus Christ, and when He sees He has access to what He gives us, it frees Him to give us more.
When it comes to financial fitness for the church it is not only the ten percent tithe, but what do you do with the remaining ninety percent?
17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, 19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 Timothy 6: 17-19
