Some are from well-known writers and blogs…

Others are from blogs and writers you might have missed…

1.  Tithing-3 tithes for the ancient Israelites?

Ever thought:

“Tithing.  Yeah. Right.   Maybe if I made twice as much as I do now, I’d be able to tithe.”

Ever thought about all the people making twice as much as you do, who are also thinking that way?

Did you know Jews in the Old Testament gave three separate tithes?

For a great graphic on tithing in biblical times… Read this post from Michael at TitheHacker.com

2.  Do you Like the reflection in the mirror?

Are you the person you want to be?

Are you becoming the person God wants you to become?

How will you react today when things go wrong?  Because they will.
