This is Perry Noble from NewSpring Church, Anderson, SC. Perry is one of my favorite preachers these days. Our church staff team and volunteers spend a lot of time learning from the folks there.

Anyway, I think his points about tithing are right. Thought you might enjoy (or get ticked off). :)

Last Sunday I told our congregation that I would put some resources that Karen and I have used to help us get our finances under control. Specifically, these are resources that have helped us get our unsecured debt in check. Here they are. I hope they help! Good luck!
