When David Lee Richardson wrote a book that essentially implied tithing is a rip-off, I guess he didn’t think the consequences all the way through. Especially since the church he held a leadership position in, was none other than the Dallas, Texas mega-church, The Potter’s House, founded by public figure Bishop T.D. Jakes. Now, after being stripped of his title and told that he and his family are no longer welcome at the church, Richardson has filed a lawsuit.

Ooops!

Personally I have heard many sermons on the responsibility of church members to give. But I have NEVER heard a sermon on the responsibility of church leaders in receiving..............

When you threaten your employer’s entire income stream you’ve got to figure there will be consequences. (”Hey, those jets and limos aren’t going to buy themselves!). I think this is God’s way of telling the Pastor to find a real church.
