Martin Luther was quoted as saying, “There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, mind and purse.” Many business leaders have heard sermons about being generous givers. But the numbers of those who have moved that concept from their minds to their wallets are few.

Recently, a friend told me that his business had been on the verge of bankruptcy when a Bible teacher challenged him to tithe from his business. Even though he had little money to give at that time, he made a commitment to God which has since resulted in millions given to Kingdom work.

James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

God’s Word is convicting, but it’s only helpful if you implement.
