Speaking anecdotally i can say this.....throughout my life, every time i got a raise in pay i raised my weekly contribution to the basket they passed around at Mass by Five Bucks. And every time i did that shortly thereafter more raises came AND promotions and things like higher per diems and business travel allowances... and along the way the stock market soared and i pulled out at the peak just before it plunged...im up to 80 bucks a week at present....i’m tellin ya each time i raised the amount that i gave; eventually way more than that came back to me...it’s happened time after time after time....way beyond coincidence.
My friends who tithe are the wealthiest friends I have. On the other hand, I have another friend who is one of the most active members in his church, but doesn’t tithe. He struggles financially. I once mentioned the phenomenon of givers who end up receiving more than they give. He hasn’t adopted it yet.
It’s just strange how this phenomenon works. I’m not sure how much this article explains it, but the phenomenon just astounds me.
