America A "Tithe-Paying" Nation? - Gary L Alexander - September 1970

Recently, a major national news magazine headlined an article about America's religious contributions : "Americans' 'Open Pocketbook': Giving to Charity Sets Record." The article told of $7.9 billion, or almost $40 per capita, given to all churches during the year of 1969. Sound pretty good? But even if all this money were given to God-directed organizations, would that amount please God? Are "Open Pocketbooks" a sign of a truly Christian nation? Let's take a look at that $7.9 billion in perspective. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
