^^What you have to understand Tero is this. Tithing is a PRINCIPLE of Sowing and Reaping. The principle of Sowing and Reaping can be applied to EVERY aspect f life. If you want mercy, then GIVE mercy. If you want love, then GIVE love. If you want someone to listen to you, then LISTEN to them. Basically, whatever you want, you have to GIVE! Tithes and offerings are no different. In order to receive financial blessings, you have to GIVE a blessing. Furthermore, God even ONE UPS us on this one. He says in the bible that not only will he MATCH your giving, but that He'll give you SO MUCH in return, that you won't have room enough to receive it.
Come on bro...I know from experience that this is true. And, tithes belong to God anyway. He even goes as far as to say that if you withhold your tithes, that's the equivalent of ROBBING God.
Will a man rob God?
Ha
Come on bro!
