ROBERT J BROWN: Tithes and offerings are income, but not earnings. Pardon me for not being as educated as yourself, and using my ignorance and picking the term 'earnings'. And believe what you will. I know what I know. God Bless LES 2 Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
