Why Ministers Should Stop Receiving Tithes & You Should Stop Tithing In Detail
Ministry as it relates to Money is sensitive issue. Although there are many good and faithful ministries with respect to money, there are also many that abuse and manipulate people to get their money. God is VERY ANGRY with those who abuse His name to fleece the flock.
On this episode of Bible Study With Apostle Dwayne I will put a nail in the coffin of Tithing in the Church while also showing the balance that the Scriptures say concerning God and His provision for TRUE Ministers and TRUE Ministry.
