Unconfessed, hidden sin will bring its own reward...
It sure does.
And now there are CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.

Over 163,000 views for this thread. Is that a record?
I am not sure, we did have the stepper thread a few years ago. It was pretty big.

Makes me sort of scared to even try on clothes for fear of them in the fitting rooms. As for public restrooms, I dont use them but one would have to wonder about cameras being in there as well.
May the sun bring you new energy by day, the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life~

Yes. Have done that very thing...God took care of that Pastor, AND He took good care of me for my obedience to His word. God blesses on principle. Period. What did I have to lose? Nothing. What did the Pastor lose? Everything. His good name, his reputation, and now..his mind- to altzheimers. Sad, really.

Sorry, I will not give any money to anyone that I happen to KNOW is abusing it. There is no "blessing" in that. It is irresponsible.
I find your highlighted statement mind boggling...but it must be what many others believe too else'n there wouldn't be so much corruption.
I, too, am firm in principle and believe in doing what is "right." Apparently, our definitions of "right" are different.
I'd rather use my 10%+ to hand deliver groceries to families in need; randomly pay someone's monthly mortgage payment who is down on his luck; send a check to a missionary; make someone's Christmas special; buy a less fortunate student at school a bag of new clothes; donate to St. Jude's; and the list goes on... Yes, I'd much rather do these things than give church staff six-digit salaries and fund extravagant vehicles, homes, trips, and even gifts for adulterous affairs.
Of course not all ministry is like this... but enough have surfaced lately that obviously accountability needs to be tightened. Church has become a big business.
I am sure this will get some backlash but I do agree with this! NOT all churches are like TPC and I have been in the best of the best UPC churches where you can see where the money is going....and you see PROGRESS...not Escalades and 800,000.00 homes for the pastors and his family living high as well. I do however know God said to Tithe and give Offerrings and do it with a cheerful heart. I do beleive that when I do what God commands us to do, once the money leaves my hand, I have done what God said to do and I am no longer "responsible" for where the money goes.
Malachi 3:8
Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions.
May the sun bring you new energy by day, the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life~

You don't have to be around people long until you discover where their heart is....and some people's heart is often wrapped around strange things...My daughter in law and I were in a place where all they talked about was cats...cats...and more cats...I counted 13 in the house! Got to church and there were 6 people....Such a small thing yet people get off tract both in small things and in big things....the principle is the same...the heart....
