the new tithe

My friend posted this blog.  It's been something I've been thinking about a LOT the last few years.  I find this an incredibly important topic to ponder.  

Over the last few years, we've given our money to things other than church . . . people we believe in, people who are struggling to make ends meet, people going on missions trips, people who need a gift, or people who just need to know someone loves them.

As one who grew up in Christian culture, I've seen that this notion of 10% going to the church might have been taken a tad too literally.  Isn't the church the people anyway?

Thoughts?
