"Aw man, last year I was making way too much money to even think about tithing. But now that the economy is slowing down and gas prices are outta control, well, we're having real trouble just trying to make ends meet!"
Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the LORD sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
- Deuteronomy 28-47-48
God is not a man, that he should lie,
nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?
- Numbers 23:19
