The Missing Step to On Paper We Don\u2019t Have Enough<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

The fifth step, I hate to tell you, was our step one of On Paper We Don\u2019t Have Enough<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 We decided to do what very few people are willing or courageous enough to do. \u00a0Are you ready to hear it? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We decided that giving 10% of our income away was mandatory and the top priority of the expenses listed. \u00a0This 10% is called the tithe<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s how we honor God for the income we already have and invite Him to be first place in helping us out of the mess we created by mishandling His resources, the rest of what we make. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Giving our tithe is not an option and we didn\u2019t worry much about which church to give to. \u00a0This money was from us to God, not a church. \u00a0We could care less what the church does with it as long as we know we gave it to a loving God who would assist us in executing our plan to be successful bill payers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Giving our tithe is not optional and we don\u2019t worry about what bills we have hanging over our head before we give our tithe. \u00a0We\u2019ve done that and it doesn’t work. \u00a0We decided to do something that\u2019s not ordinary, normal or common. \u00a0We figured that everything else we tried failed so let\u2019s try something different. \u00a0It works.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you desire to have finances like you\u2019ve never had before, you\u2019ll need to do with your finances something you\u2019ve never done before.<\/span>
