After some years of attending mega-churches pastored by both black and white men and their wives, I begin to notice a trend. These pastors would always tell their congregation – mostly non-college-educated and barely surviving members – that the way to prosperity is through tithing. Tithing was the only means to prosperity taught by these pastors. In fact, the reason for all that ailed the saints (hard times, sickness, and lack) was non-tithing (i.e., theft of God’s money).

Ping!

You’re right.

It happens in smaller churches too.

Fleecing the flock by appealing to one’s lust of the flesh.

Tithing is the way to prosperity.....for the pastors!
