As we begin a new year, many people are considering changes in diet, scheduling, and finances. One important spiritual discipline to develop is "tithing," or giving 10% of what we receive back to God. (More about tithing in another blogpost.) But have you ever attended a church that offered a MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE on your tithe? Unfortunately, this is becoming a wide-spread practice. It is a symptom of following a health-and-wealth gospel where people ask "What can serving God do for ME?" And if you don't feel you've gotten a good return on your investment, well, some churches will just return it. Is this practice Scriptural?

Happy New Year!
