Jesus Christ vs the Evangelical Tithe

# 23: Why, why, why is the judgement seat of Christ seldom mentioned, not only by Pastor Whoever but by christian authors, magazine and podcast people, etcetera? Why, why, why do these same people freely speak of “tithes and offerings” – which has no New Testament endorsement – and avoid the upcoming judgment seat of Christ that is referenced many times.

Perhaps professional sermonizers have a sense of foreboding about the account they must give to Judge Jesus.
