The only reason why mine has been reduced is my business has dropped off, which should be the case with anyone hopefully.

The general belief is for most,,if you give God will provide as if it is a conditional thing.I do not hold to this principle,God gives because He wants to not because I gave him a tithe.Besides why does a person always assume when Jesus said to give He meant money?
