Baseball is most definitely more important than religion. Even if it's just softball.
My god...I know you were kidding, but it looks like several people not only thought that you were serious, but seriously thought that you should give the money to the church. Jesus F'n Christ...

Ultimately you need to do what is best for your daughter. See if you can give 5% to the church. (btw 10% of what) and swing her the $50.
As a child hearing Gods needs are more important than your own is very harsh. If you keep using lines like this and stop supporting her interests she will indeed end up resenting God.
How is it going to look infront of her friends if she can't go becuase God is more important. The pastors residence can wait till next month and so can the mutual fund. God will understand that your daughter needs this.

In regards to tithing, in situations such as yours, there are times when the betterment, unity, and collegiality of your family; you supercede the tithing. Take care of your daughter's enrollment fee. Offer to assist manual labor with the expansion or defer the tithe, and double it next month or split it three way, and pay a 1/3 of the 10% currently 'due' later.
Get your priorities straight. Your daughter is more important that your Pastors house...he has one, right? He most likely DOESN'T pay the payments, and his expansion is going to occur in March?? (don't think so...kind of chilly out) and the Mutual Fund? I wouldn't feel the need to assist with a Mutual Fund, these things are OPTIONAL.
My concern here is that you are placing a Pastors dreams and wishes and placing them as if they are God's. They are not. The need for tithing is for "upkeep of the running of the church, utilities, taxes, necessary supplies'. The things you've mention do not qualify.
Your daughter loves God, I find it very difficult that you would judge your child based on a monetary value...your stressed; right now is crappy financially; we've all been there. But the choices made is the child first, the tithing can be taken care of in good faith like I mentioned above. I sincerely plead to you to re-consider, pay the enrollment fee; apologize to your daughter. God DOES understand.

So, you're going to make your daughter go without something she really needs so your pastor can remodel his house? That's not God's needs. A mutual fund, and cosmetic remodeling arent half as important as your child's needs. Prioritize. Your church doesnt NEED those things. Now if you were saying Our Pastor hasnt been paid this month and is going to loose his house, that's a good priority, or "Our church needs capital to fund a halfway house" Yeah, maybe. Your poor daughter! Children are a gift from god, and should be treated as such, and honored as such..

Maybe your daughter could use a little more discipline. Let her know that God hates softball. It breeds lesbians. She should try to get some money from the older men in the church. She would probably have to dress up like a boy.

I would pray about the situation. I can't tithe every week and God knows exactly why. Your pastor should not put his needs above you taking care of your family. Pray!!! Tithing is for the church not for your pastor. I think you should catch up with the house payment before you become the homeless Christian! Your daughter will have to understand you can't do it all, believe me, she will understand one day.

Tithing is 10 % out of each and every pay examine. It does not could desire to be paid up front, and that i be responsive to of acquaintances that save all of it until the tip of the 300 and sixty 5 days and pay it in one massive lump sum. My husband and that i take 10 % out of each and every paycheck, and pay it then. Tithing is used by using out the full church around the international. Its used to construct church homes, help with the food save living house, help human beings in prefer (not basically the church contributors), alongside with different issues. in case you have the different question be at liberty to invite me :)

I will ask you a question to answer your question. where in the New Testament does it say to "tithe". The old law was for those who lived under the old law. Not only were you to give 10% of your money but 10% of everything you have to God. We live under the new law and the bible tells us to lay by in store as God has prospered. Nothing about 10% or tithe.

How old is she?
It sounds like she doesn't understand why she can't play softball?
Have you prayed over this? While I'm all for tithing, I'm also for praying. The big key to praying is listening.
Right now you need to talk with your daughter. She is upset with YOU, not Jesus.

She needs to understand that its not about her, Its about Christ. When you get paid you should give God 10 percent right off the top. Tell her to have faith and pray asking God for the extra 50. If your giving more then your 10 percent to help with extra at the church then I'd pray about that and ask God to lead you to do the right thing. Maybe you can give extra to your church next month.
