Number of years ago back in the early 90′s I started attending a church, which was then called Harvest Time A/G. I was going for some time and then I purp0sed in my heart that I was going to tithe, so I did. And I’ve been tithing eversence. And guess what, God has blessed. Every bill was paid I don’t owe anything. And I have extra money coming back. Like for instance at work, I Work as a certousy clerk Kroger’s in Waynesboro. One day back in 1995 I guess it was I purposed in my heart what I was going to give(work). the bible says to purpose in your heart what you are going to give. Well I did that and I’ve been doing it eversence. And the Lord has prosperd it. I had people give me tips already. At first I only got a few 1 dollor bills here and there. Now I had people give 5′s,10′s,and even 20′s already,And a lady just yesterday handed me a 10 dollar bill,She said “Merry Christmas” . The Bible says you’ll reep in do season if you faint not. And there’s probably not a single person in Waynesboro that does not know me or does not know of me. The fruits here are Faithfullness,Kindness, And I’m sure there’s others. Number of people asked me, How long have you been here? I said over 18 years. People down there come and go, even mannagment comes and goes.
Now the bible does call us to be tithers. Want to know some thing if we don’t tithe, according to the Bible we’re robbers. I know that sounds hard but that’s a fact. Read malicie 3. I think it’s rather amazing that we here in America gripe about Uncle Sam taking our money in taxes. When we here in the church don’t tithe. I heard a recent statistic, only 8% of church people tithe. We say we want lower taxes. I thought a few times already could this be the reason why we’re going through hard times or why we aren’t getting lower taxes. “What we sow we’ll reap” is what the Bible says. Whether it’s Good or Evil.
We hear all this talk about all the politicians loosing their way well I think the church here in America has lost her way in allot of areas. This is just one off many areas. And there’s others. Looks to me we need reform in the church. Not just in Washington. Like former VP canidate Sarah Palin did in the state of Alaska. We need Sarah Palins in the Church. Well if this ruthels feathers who ever reads this I’m not apoligizing for it. Because it’s the truth. I’m sort of like Sean Hanity He said one Time “I realize that if you’re going to take a stand on things, that are certain groups of people that aren’t going to like you”. The Devil hates my guts, that’s a reality. If we’re looking to be liked all the time, Well I say we’re wimps. Jesus was wasn’t a wimp He was hated by the Religious people of His day.
