You have robbed me says the Lord! How have we robbed you? [Spirituality & Religion]

"In tithes and offerings.
You are cursed with a curse because you have robbed me; even this whole nation!
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house. I challenge you, prove me, says the Lord of Hosts that I will not open windows in heaven and pour you out a blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devowerer for your sake and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground."
"Your words have been stout against me says the Lord. What have we spoken against you. You have said it is vain to serve God. And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinances, and that we walked mournfully before the Lord?
"Then they that feared the Lord spoke one to another, and the Lord heard it and a book of rememberance was written before Him for them who feared the Lord and those who thought upon His Name.
And They shall be mine in that day when I make up my jewels and I will spare them as a man spares his own son that serves him" [b]Malachi 3 The Holy Bible[/b]

How do you make sure your tithe goes to God, and not some grifter like Franklin Graham or Jerry Falwell Jr.?

@LeopoldBloom We have to make sure the church is biblical but God knows the heart! I give to a local Christian church and to Family Radio which plays 24 hr Christian music and bible verses and devotions around the globe! Do you know that some Godly people give 90% of their salary and live on 10% but we should just give 10% if we can't give more and we will be blessed!
@Carazaa I mean, how do you know the pastor isn't just pocketing the money? Are they using it to do things like housing and feeding the homeless, etc., and more importantly, are their financial records open so you can check to see where it's actually going?

By the way, would you consider Franklin Graham or Jerry Falwell Jr. "Biblical?"

@LeopoldBloom I am not listening to them sorry! I listen to Alistair Begg, John Piper, and others. God doesn't need our money but he is testing our faith!
@Carazaa Isn’t Piper one of those guys who claims he died and went to heaven?

Not sure about him, but Colton Burpo has admitted his own story was fake.

@LeopoldBloom I have never heard of him. I do believe the world is deceived by Satan and as Jesus said Satan will stand in the Holy place in the last days. Many many many if not most churches are not Biblical!
@Carazaa It was a big deal here in the US. Another one was named Malarkey if you can believe it.
