I'm sure many a minister had unpure motives, but there is truth in Mal 3:10. One shouldn't expect a financial blessing because they tithe. We are commanded to tithe. Period. But how many of us do it faithfully every week? God's not gonna bless (the understood) you if you tithe only when you have an immediate need. You can buy a vowel, but not a blessing. And who says those blessings will be financial in nature? People - namely those under the covering of those wayward ministers - totally misunderstand the concept of tithing. Totally.
Just thinking...
