Not that page!

https://paulawhite.org/firstfruits

Many people can do more! Remember, I believe in sowing a month’s, week’s, or day’s pay. By honoring God and obeying His Word IT SHIFTS SOMETHING SUPERNATURALLY! It’s about doing YOUR VERY BEST! Honoring God with the principle of First Fruits with your seed is all about Him- GOD IS WORTH IT! Let me hear from you right away and make your “promise to come” a reality!

Keeping Him First,

Pastor Paula

Ok thank you for the link. This verifies that she is not asking everyone in general to give money to her ministry in particular--as some people are taking in this discussion based on the article.

She seems like a typical mega-preacher with her over emphasis on tithing for personal reward. But that is about the extent of her faults it seems.

Although, I also am disappointed in her misuse of one of my favorite authors, CS Lewis...who does encourage charity and giving for Christians, but did not have her take on it when she emphasizes the Old Covenant "First Fruits" concept so much, and to make it worse laces her language with more than a hint of finical consequences. Jesus said to not let your left hand know what your right hand was doing...and to give out of love...but this kind of emphasis seems to be giving out of greed.

But, also it is not Christian to slander someone, and I think the article slanders and exaggerates in its headline. If not explicitly, implicitly.
