An Epistle from Paul: We Have the Green Light! I said the following would be brought up to the men at last night’s Leadership Meeting. I asked the men if they would be supportive of the church challenging those in the church family who are not presently tithing. Here then is the challenge. Try tithing for the next three months and if after that time you and your family haven’t experienced the promise of God to open the windows of blessings (spiritually and physically) then the church will fully refund your money with no questions asked. Now why would the men be so willing to back such a plan? Aren’t we afraid things may backfire? What if an individual or family tries tithing for the first time and they want their refund?! Will we really give their money back? You bet, in a heartbeat, without question! Isn’t this a risky “scheme”? Absolutely NOT! We take God at His word and are confident that any individual or family who seriously takes on this challenge will learn the joy and blessing that comes from giving the way the Lord wants us to give! As was shared Sunday, God gives in His Word the Christian equation when it comes to giving: 90% + God’s blessings = far more than 100% - God’s blessings! How about it dear brother and sister? If you presently are not tithing of your income to the Lord’s work here, take on this challenge and try it for ninety days. Those of us who are presently tithing and beyond will be more than happy to testify how the Lord has proven Himself true and faithful to us in this very matter!!!!

TRANSCRIPT

An Epistle from Paul:We Have the Green Light! – I said the following would be brought up to the men at last night’s Leadership Meeting. I asked the men if they would be supportive of the church challenging those in the church family who are not presently tithing. Here then is the challenge. Try tithing for the next three months and if after that

time you and your family haven’t experienced the promise of God to open the windows of blessings (spiritually and physically) then the church will fully refund your money with no questions asked.

Now why would the men be so willing to back such a plan? Aren’t we afraid things may backfire? What if an individual or family tries tithing for the first time and they want their refund?! Will we really give their money back? You bet, in a heartbeat, without question! Isn’t this a risky “scheme”? Absolutely NOT! We take God at His word and are confident that any individual or family who seriously takes on this challenge will learn the joy and blessing that comes from giving the way the Lord wants us to give!

As was shared Sunday, God gives in His Word the Christian equation when it comes to giving:

90% + God’s blessings = far more than100% - God’s blessings!

How about it dear brother and sister? If you presently are not tithing of your income to the Lord’s work here, take on this challenge and try it for ninety days. Those of us who are presently tithing and beyond will be more than happy to testify how the Lord has proven Himself true and faithful to us in this very matter!!!!

In His Marvelous Love, Paul

To Go Toward Building Fund!As we have done this in the past. The last Sun. in November will be our “Thanksgiving Offering” to be given to the Building/Expan-sion Fund. We are calling upon the church family to give above and beyond in their tithes and offerings this day to go toward this important fund. We are in the process of putting up a new pole-ban for safe keep of the bus, mowers and etc. It will also give some much needed storage space for various other matters… We have made another offer to the land behind us… and if that doesn’t
