The amazing thing is that a year after the CLB, there is still times that voice in the back of the head tells me that the "shoe is going to drop" and it will prove all that they said was right. But it hasn't and won't. God's grace and love is bigger than man's works, isn't that the point of the gospel??? And when it does look like a shoe is dropping, God is there to help me through the drop not say "told you so!!" Praise God, I'm still learning.

I wish more people had the guts to really get down and discuss this subject and not just throw accusations at people when they don't know the answer to something. I have been researching this subject at the same site you linked to. I am amazed at how much bondage we are in about tithing. People at CLB can't believe that I am so blessed because I don't tithe and I don't go to church. They just don't understand it. Like what you said about the heathen and their working washer and dryers. If we go by what we have learned at church about tithing than all christians should be filthy rich and all heathens should be dirt poor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-57190948488476085792007-08-06T21:02:00.000-04:002007-08-06T21:02:00.000-04:00Great analogy about paying God off so we can be pr...Great analogy about paying God off so we can be protected. I hadn't thought of it like that before. <BR/><BR/>I, too, felt that God owed us because we tithed. Yikes! I guess we weren't too comfortable with the idea that God loves us - just because He does and not because we did anything to earn it or buy it.

That's ridiculous.<BR/><BR/>Well I was thinking so many of us have been led to believe that God is like that. When we finally begin to realize that's not God at all, that nothing bad is going to happen just because we don't jump through the proscribed hoops, there is a freedom that we never knew.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-78991596325701523802007-08-06T12:02:00.000-04:002007-08-06T12:02:00.000-04:00I love this!

Not having to assess my status with Father based on how my day is going. Just taking life as it comes, and enjoying His love.
