Letter to Pat Robertson on the 700 Club- “My husband and I are in our 80s and have been tithing for many years. We both love the Lord and give willingly and our tithe is over 10 percent. I praise him and thank him for our blessings. I declare that this is the time of prosperity, but we never have an extra penny after our monthly bills are paid. Our old car just broke down and we had to borrow money to fix it. We both need dental work, but we can’t afford it. I constantly have to use our credit card to pay for medical needs. I speak the verse about, Give and it will be given to you. We have no unforgiveness in our lives. What could we be doing wrong?” His response- “There are many ways of making money, even at 80 years old. You know, you can get on the telephone, people are hiring. There are all kinds of things you can do. For example, you may have a bunch of junk lying around in your garage that you can sell on eBay, and get some money that way. There are many, many ways of making money. And you’re looking at the downside of all the bills youve got instead of saying, ‘God, Ive been faithful to you. Now, I claim my blessing, and I ask you to open the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing. Show me what you’re going to do, show me how I can move into blessing.’ So, just ask him.” My question to you all. Is this good advice? Or would it be better to tell her she has given to the lord enough? That she should take care of herself and husband, and enjoy the rest of your days without financial worry. Stop tithing. I would really like to know everyones opinion on this if you are willing.
