A thread has begun about calling fire down.....all humorous .....Let me preface that I do choose to tithe. My wife and I also give a lot to missions. I believe in sowing and reaping.But, I grew up hearing preachers telling born-again spirit filled believers that they are cursed...and everything they do will be cursed. While living under the new covenant, we teach old covenant principles. I even heard pastors use stories where good christian families....who did not tithe, had a spouse, child or loved one die unexpectedly...or their house burnt down or their car broke down....all because they did not tithe....
