Stop giving your money to churches, pastors, and ministries. Better yet, stop donating altogether. I can’t tell you the last time I donated money to anyone. It doesn’t matter who we are talking about. We could be talking about churches, vloggers, or even video game streamers. If anyone is asking for money or donations of any kind, then that means they are too lazy to get a job and put in the hard work to make money themself. These jobless pastors and streamers would rather attempt to emotionally convince their followers to not pay their bills and instead donate their hard earned money to them instead of getting a job themselves to pay their own bills. It’s sickening.

Let’s talk about churches for a moment. My money is not for the local pastor, street peddler, or for any food stamp recipient. That’s what aluminum can refunds and government subsidies are for. My money is my own. Not for anyone else. I didn’t earn my money just to give it away to someone else. I’d burn my money to ashes before I even think about giving it to someone else. Yes you heard right. I love my money. And it’s all mine, not yours. Don’t you love money as much as I do? The upper class of society is run by money. So why not be a part of the top tier system yourself? Why on God’s green flat earth would I give away my money to a local church so that pastor can use my money to keep the lights on at his church when I could use my money to keep the lights on at my place? Church pastors don’t care about you. They just care about the amount of money you are willing to give them. And any money that you are not willing to give that is when they bust open those ancient name it and claim it texts to emotionally convince you to give any of your remaining money to the church.

How do you think those corrupted mega churches became the size that they are? Those mega churches didn’t grow to the size that they are by the pastor and his staff all working two jobs each. Mega churches grew to the size that they are by the pastor convincing their sheep to tithe ten percent of their paycheck to the ministry. The church pastor expects your money to be used for the betterment of his business. If pastors were not all about money, then they wouldn’t have tithe boxes scattered throughout the church, a book store with overpriced emotional books, or a donation ministry. Before you start to donate to a church, how do you know that the food and money you give to the church isn’t staying in the church? Churches are not houses of God. Churches are businesses that need a stable supply of money givers to keep the pastor’s and his wife’s business flourishing. If churches weren’t all about money, why do you think the first half of every church service revolves around some form of money giving? Churches host a worship service at the beginning of each name it and claim it speech by the pastor so they can emotionally convince you to give up your hard earned money to the pastor and his wife in the form of tithes and offerings. A pastor doesn’t want you to pay off the mortgage for your home. What he wants is for you to give him your money so he doesn’t have to refinance his home to pay the church’s bills that he’s defaulted on.

Tithes and offerings are a way to purchase goods and services from a church. You give your hard earned money to a church and in turn you receive emotional verbal speeches by the pastor as goods and services. Rather than give away your money to a church ran by a pastor, his wife, and church elders who all like to practice the laying on of hands with each other in the holy chamber, why don’t you use your money to help pay the bills at your home and take care of the needs of your family? The pastor’s family is not your family. Your family is your family. The needs of others is none of your business and it’s for sure none of my business. So if the pastor and his lazy spoiled wife need extra income they can each get a second job. Rather than being emotionally suckered into giving away your money to a pastor who is too lazy to get a job himself, you could use your money to buy food and toys for your children, buy an online business, or even invest into the stock market. You could set aside your hard earned money as a savings for your children’s college tuition or even start brokerage accounts for them and begin to invest into their future early on rather than giving your hard earned money to a pastor so he can invest into his future. If you want to invest in your future, buy stocks. Don’t invest in your pastor’s future by buying emotional speeches. If you care so much about your children why are you not dedicating your entire paycheck to them but are rather dividing up your paycheck amongst your family and your pastor’s family. His family is none of your concern and like I mention early, a pastor’s family is definitely none of my concern.

One more thing, churches are the most corrupted businesses in existence. They will strive so low as to try to emotionally convince you to give up your hard earned money. For example a pastor and his church who say they give money and food to the needy should be taken with a grain of salt. The food and money isn’t even theirs to begin with. The food and money that they are giving away was food and money given to them by their congregation. The pastor and his church emotionally convinced their congregation to give away their hard earned money so as to financially secure the pastor’s business. Let’s say a pastor and his church for some odd reason do help the needy. That’s akin to person 1 giving person 2 an apple pie and then person 2 gives the apple pie to person 3 to eat. The apple pie that person 3 is eating wasn’t even person 2’s to begin with even though person 2 gave it to them, but the apple pie was person 1’s who gave it to person 2. Person 2 is just a liaison between person 1 and person 3 and is not connected to the apple pie at all. If for some reason you do want to give away your hard earned money to the needy who should have made better life decisions. Don’t give your money to a pastor and his church who may or may not even help the needy at all. Instead rather give your money directly to the needy yourself with no middle man between you and the other party. So you know for sure that you are directly helping the needy and not hoping that the pastor and his church will help the needy.

Before I end this sermon let me reiterate to you that your local pastor doesn’t care about your financial well being. They just want to emotionally drain you to make it easy for the church to smite you of your income. So the pastor and his church can continue to flourish as a financially stable business. If pastor’s and their churches care so much about their congregation they would never ask nor except monetary donations of any kind, but rather they would be telling their congregation to pay off all of their debt and bills first and then invest any of their hard earned money that’s left over into high quality dividend growth stocks to help financially secure their future and their families future.

In the name of the father, the son, and the holy dollar.

Amen.
