Contributed by D. Greg Ebie on Jan 7, 2004 (message contributor)
What if I told you about a man who was struggling to give his tithe to the Lord; let’s call him BILL. He wanted to please God, but he just couldn’t see how he would be able to pay all his bills if he gave 10% of his income to the church.

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Aug 16, 2003
