MG , That was awesome testimony. The church I went to most of my married life, taught tithe and drilled it and drilled it. We, never had a lot of money, but God always provided my needs. So, I gave with my heart. It did not satisfy the last minister we had. He, told what a young couple with a large family gave and they found out and left. I always could have kicked myself for not leaving to. Then I had been ill seriously for about a year. My second, week back the Pastor told how much my husband and I gave. He preached it with a sermon . Then he said, he did not know what anyone gave. Then, he said,"Am I Saying God Might Kill You". We set through that sermon and that was the last time My Husband and Mother ever went back. All, my husbands family knowss about it but never left. But, hey. The belive all that stuff so how can I get mad at them. Also, I was begining to questions things and the Pastor treated me like a little child and being a woman I believe he told me not to delve into things. He even had a lady of the church send me some safe websites to read from. Well, like you Hell was the thing that set me free. It drove me crazy for years. Well, I didn't read his websites or take his advice. I took the Great I Am advice. So, here we all our. A wonderful family of Brothers and Sisters. Believe me they help keep me straight because many are very equiped to help where I lack.
In His Love,
