…we know that American Christians don’t give much money to churches. In light of Jesus’ teachings about how our use of physical resources reveals our hearts, I take this as obvious evidence that our hearts are more devoted to the kingdom of America than the kingdom of God. But of the money we do give, what happens to it once it gets to the church? How is it spent? While browsing the websites of dozens of large American churches, an interesting commonality emerged. Nearly all of them have a prominent “donate” button where you can easily give online. But for the vast majority of them, budget information is nowhere to be found. In other words, churches have an impressive zeal for taking our money, but it is not matched by a commitment to telling us how that money will be spent. Jesse Curtis
