Loved your posts sisters! While the posts are not designed to 'make friends', they will certainly influence some people. LOLOL<br />

Actually, more and more folks in 'ministry' are raising their voices against the practice of tithing, the use of guilt or the arguments of 'necessary sacrifice' in order for a person to obtain God's blessings (the greater the sacrifice, the greater the blessing).

This mindset is sometimes referred to as 'Utilitarian Christianity'. It is at the heart of religious humanism, where the question is, "What can I get out of God for my own benefit.", rather than, "What can God get out of me, for His glory?"<br />
