    4. Church Expense

    “I was shown that it is wrong to use the tithe for defraying the incidental expenses of the church.... You are robbing God every time that you put your hands into the treasury for funds to meet the running expenses of the church.” 2After reading this message from Ellen White, the Battle Creek church voted on January 16, 1897, “that the church discontinue the practice of paying the current expenses of the church and Tabernacle out of the tithe.” (Published in Special Testimony to Battle Creek Church, p. 10.)Counsels on Stewardship, 103.EGWCUTF 23.1

    “His people today are to remember that the house of worship is the Lord’s property and that it is to be scrupulously cared for. But the funds for this work are not to come from the tithe.” Testimonies for the Church 9:248 (1909).EGWCUTF 23.2
