[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just began fully tithing a month ago and man we've been blessed!  It's unreal.  A week after, we got a check from a company who previously refused to pay us the money they owed us.   Tithing is not quid pro quo of course, but you give to God and He will surely provide for you.  Just keep praying for her heart to soften.[/quote]

My brain is paralyzed by the almost innumerable snarky things this post deserves as a response. [/quote]

I'm a different poster - but I just have to throw this in.  We joined a new church within the past year and for the first time in our married lives, we're both fully on board.  We love the church, it's mission, the pastor, the familes, etc.  We both felt God lead us to tithing, even though I write the checks monthly rather than weekly, because it was still a little hard to say goodbye to that much money.  My point is, that we both wanted to tithe here, but it is still a mental struggle sometimes.  In any case, though, like the PP, we have been blessed financially over and over since we have joined this church.  Is it the tithing?  Being more connected to the church?  Luck?  I have no idea.  I do like to believe that as we entrust God with our finances, he rewards us and makes sure we are provided for.  Like PP, we have received many financial rewards such as several thousand dollar credit card refund, unexpected checks and pay raises.  I'm not saying oh, go tithe and be rewarded - but rather, trust God and you will be taken care of.

So God blesses you, but those starving people in the Congo, they just aren't getting with the program, is that it?[/quote]

IF the starving gave 10% of their meager possessions, God would  bless tem too.  But are they doing that?  Doubtful -- they're just scrounging around for food instead[/quote]Is that not the prosperity gospel? Or are you preaching Karma?[/quote]
