14- Church giving. For Jesus who died for our sins, gave us this life, and gave us the wisdom and the strength to make money. Our Weekly or Monthly Budget:

$1- for offering
$10- for tithes
$5- for mission
$10- for building fund
$5- for visiting missionary (Some people are proud and can't even keep this out of their mind they gave $5 for the visiting missionary)
$1 to help the poor, the victims of the natural calamities such as the Super Typhoon.

AND...

We question why our churches are not growing?
Why there's nothing going on in our churches?
Why there are more false religions in your area than Christians?
Why worldly life and practices as well as violence and disregard for life are so rampant?
Why so many broken homes, broken families and broken relationships? Why people are ungrateful to God even on Thanksgiving Day?
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also."(Matthew 6:19-21 ASV)

And the endless "Why"!
