Anyway, read a disturbing post. A woman was helping her mom - a woman about my age. The old woman had been twice married, both were anti-husbands...and what else is news? The daughter, evidently made good decisions in her matter$, had a decent job and such; but she and her husband had their own issues (mortgage, repairs, electric...)
Well, in short, the so-called "church" was acting more anti-church. They were leaning on the old lady, for that 10% right off the top. Needless to say, the old woman was not able to meet basic expenses without the daughter's monthly help. Mom worked in a shark-tank, not a good place for anybody, of any age. Ya know, the usual evolutionary mind-set.
That little church, on shakedown street, was doing a number on keeping the daughter in her atheist-decision - and robbing HER of her family's resources. Ah the aroma of wolf-droppings. (Details in the Book of Jude). The article, forgot to ad, was a financial advice column.
The Lord's common grace at work: the daughter was putting Mom's needs before her own, but was really rankled, that the money she was able to give her mom, so she could meet her basic living expenses, was about 10% of Mom's gross monthly income. Uh yeah, i'd be rankled too.
Doesn't the Old Testament exhort families to meet their expenses, stay out of debt, and leave an inheritance? Yep, the pulpiteers somehow leave that out.
