Malachi 3:10 "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now in this," says the Lord of hosts, ....
Some people attend one place, but send their "tithes" to another ministry. They become disobedient to the Lord, because He classifies it only as an offering, and not tithes. This action robs them of many blessings. Supposing I had a friend who owned a restaurant, but I chose to eat at another restaurant. What would happen when it came time to pay the bill, if I told the cashier that instead of paying them, I would give the money to the people at the other restaurant? They could accuse me of trying to defraud their restaurant.
We fall into the same category when we send our tithes to another ministry. Tithes belong to the church you attend and get fed, offerings can be given there, as well as sent to other ministries.
