We should be responsible with what we earn and spend. We need to learn how to budget our resources.
How do we break the cycle of feeling like what we have is never enough? Maybe the answer isn’t found in our paychecks; maybe the answer is found in our hearts.
One Sunday I tithed 10% of my paycheck and I just had no idea how I was going to make it on what I had. It wasn’t a week later I received checks from five different places.

Why is it okay for a businessperson at a booming company to drive her dream car but not okay for a pastor to drive his dream car?
My parents informed me that the purchase of the car left them without funds to pay for my church’s youth camp. It was inevitable; I needed to find work.
Tithing is a lesson in building our faith, not a giving contest. The more we do it, the more we grow and see God’s hand at work in our lives. We cannot possibly outgive God.
