Be Careful What You Ask For
A wealthy man said to his pastor friend, "When I was just starting out, making only $20,000 a year, I used to tithe; after all, what's $2000? Now that I make $800,000, I don't tithe; $80,000 just seems like such a huge amount of money to give to the church! Please pray that I will tithe again."
His friend bowed his head and said, "Lord, you know this man used to tithe when he made very little money. Now that he has greatly increased in wealth, he does not tithe anymore. Please lower his income to the point where he can tithe again!"
