    Salvation is found, not by pursuit, but by surrender.

    Looking at tithing from an aspect of Worship, Holiness, Obedience, Love and Evangelism

    The WHOLE Tithe I know what you're thinking. He sure talks a lot about this whole money, offering and tithing thing. He must just be another of those money-hungry, hands-always-out preachers.

     | 12,299 views

    The pastor has two roles that must not be reduced -- a gatekeeper to guard against useless ideas and hateful attitudes, and a gateopener to let in God's surprises.

If you remember that program, you will recall that sweet, nice, loveable Mary lived in an apartment ...read more
