I know bro. I love a good laugh. Have you seen the unemployment rates and how many gave up looking for a job in our country? I started as a Journeyman tradesman in 1985, making 19 bucks an hour in my union. These same guys these days are making about 3 bucks more than then. Gas prices have tripled, housing has tripled, insurance is mandatory(health and auto), rents have tripled, food has tripled, electricity has tripled. EVERYTHING HAS TRIPLED BRO. Folks just dont have the money we think they have....Just wait 'til your kids turn of age to leave home bro. It may be when they are 30, unless they join the military

Sean I make a gross of 1400 a month and it has been this was for several years. I have 2 kids and pay rent, but I have paid tithes (for the most part) for the last ten years anyways. once again I don't place a command on it to my church, but I already know that many that say they can't afford to really can. I don't want their money I just want to see them grow in their walk with God.
I am telling this to you now because of the topic of this thread, but I don't say things like this to my church. I consider it meddling. I am not telling people in my church that they must tithe, but I am not going to pat someone on the back and tell them they are doing all they can. When in fact their contributions don't show it in anyway. We are not blind you can most of the time see if someone is trying or not.
