Can You Test God With Your Offerings?
Q: Could you explain the concept of “testing God with your offerings”? Does God “return favors” to us? Where is the line with the prosperity gospel in regards to offerings?
Today we hear answers to Michael’s 10 Questions from his longtime friend, Rob Schwarzwalder.
In this conversation, Rob shares about his struggles with doubt and anxiety, and how he escaped from under the weight of that struggle and embraced a life of surrender to Christ as his Lord. .
“It was as though years of anxiety, questioning, unbelief, and doubt fell off my back.”
Scripture referenced
