Blessed are the miserly?

I just read in the Chronicle of Philanthropy that the emptytomb.org released their annual update on church giving.

According to the article, Protestant Christians gave only 0.38% of their income to missions and outreach. These Christians, from 34 denominations, also gave just over 2% of their income to church operational expenses.

2%!

For crying out loud, we’re paying 20% on credit cards. *sheesh*

Can you imagine what havoc we’d wreak on hell if we all at least tithed?
