I never mentioned my reasoning to the pastor of clerk and neither have mentioned or complained to me. My wife has always preferred 20% or more to the church and missions. I have no problem with that, as long as I see it used to benefit His Kingdom.

AT first my girl was upset because I did not use the term TITHE, my explaination was WE KNOW and HE knows we pay our tithe.
