Question & Answers On: Finance

Questions
I gave money to a church for a building project that never happened. I asked for my money back and they told me it was gone. What can I do?
Was Jesus materially rich? If so is the ‘Prosperity Gospel’ justified?
Why is it acceptable for a couple to incur debt for a house if it isn’t acceptable for a church to incur debt for a building?
Does the Lord’s church have authority to earn interest on its money?
While I agree that our church needs a building, and they are right to raise money from the congregation, is it Biblical to hire someone to raise the money from our congregants?
Could you please help me understand the Biblical basis for support raising in ministry? Is it more desirable to be a tent-maker as you enter a ministry?
