Unemployment is at record highs. People are losing their homes. Consumer confidence is dropping by the minute. Many are in despair and feel powerless and depressed. What can be done?

The answer is simple: we can tithe! But this is not the “tithe” you think it is.

If you had known that the housing and stock markets were about to go south a few months back, what would you have done? Many suspected things might go bad, but were unwilling (or unable) to take an investment risk. Did you have any idea that the Tampa Bay Rays were going to the World Series last year? But if you could have looked into the future and saw these things coming with certainty and specificity, you would have acted differently.
