An Unusual Robbery

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2025

Everything belongs to God and we are stewards of what God entrusts to us. God requires we give back to Him a tenth of all our income. God tells us that to fail to pay tithes is to rob Him of what's His. If we do tithe we receive a seventh-fold blessing.
