I was blessed to have parents that taught me to tithe as a child. I’ve paid the tithe on every dollar I’ve ever made. My wife and I participated in the Possess The Land campaign at COTM 11 years ago and were blessed because of it. When the It’s Your Move campaign started in ‘08, we decided on a monthly amount that was a bit of a stretch, and many times more than what we gave in Possess The Land. We knew that at the end of the IYM campaign something new and great would happen. Two weeks after we gave our last IYM payment, I got a call from a former colleague who offered me a job that would make my new tithe be more than my old tithe amount and IYM payment combined. It was like God saying, because you gave sacrificially above the tithe for 3 years, I’m going to bless you so that your tithe alone keeps your giving at that elevated level. If you make God your banker, you’ll never have to worry about what the rest of the world (and econony) is doing.
