Although things shifted financially (or at least they appeared to through my eyes), the mindset of money dictating what we wanted prevailed.
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.
