Do You Support Your Fellow Workers?

[jbearnolimits]

I was just thinking about the subject of tithe and offering. But not so much the "are we required" to do it part. I was thinking of the willingness part.

Paul said that no one had talked with him about giving until the one church. Then he also spoke of "robbing" other churches for the needs of another. It got me thinking about our willingness to support each other.

I have always given to others if I am able. I give food to the hungry and do my best to meet any need I can. I do give money and try to support those I can in ministry...BUT I find myself unable more often than I am able. The only other hesitation I have with giving to help other workers is when they are not actually doing the work, or they are being manipulative.

So I was wondering if you feel you support others in ministry, and if so, how? Would you say you do so through giving, speaking to others, or some other method? Or not at all? Why or why not?
