HMMMM...If these people were to address their brothers and sisters in the church individually, I would think they would receive some help.  That being said, why is getting help coporately any different.

It is my opinion that tithing is a personal responsibility, and should be audited only by God.  Should we only show love and charity only to those who tithe?  Maybe it's just me but I don't want to start thinking FOR God....I would rather try to think like God, and let Him handle the audits.

just an opinion.
I hear what you're saying, but there are people who struggle but still do everything they can to support the church, and then on the other hand there are those who only take and never give, shouldn't the one who gives be entitled to help when they get in a jam?  The other person who doesn't give should be helped as well, but I think some consideration should be given to those who sacrifice so the ministry can be supported and literally keep the church doors open... when they fall on hard times, the church should run to their rescue. 

Sometimes we're all about outreach, but there are those in our own house who go lacking while put all of our time and focus on bringing those that are outside in.  There's a scripture that talks about a man failing to take care of his own house being worse than an infidel.  I would say that a church that fails to help their own members who support the ministry year in and year out, who sacrifice to see the work go on.... well it's an indictment against that church family if they don't feel just as much or more obligation to help that person that is right in their midst.
