A man once came to Peter Marshall, former chaplain of the Unites States Senate, with a concern about tithing. \u201cI have a problem,\u201d he said. \u201cI have been tithing for some time. It wasn\u2019t too bad when I was making $20,000 a year; I could afford to give up $2,000. But now that I am making $500,000, there is no way I can afford to give away $50,000 a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter Marshall reflected on this wealthy man\u2019s dilemma but gave no advice. He simply said, \u201cYes, sir. I see that you have a problem. I think we ought to pray about it. Is that all right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man agreed, so Dr. Marshall bowed his head and prayed, \u201cDear Lord, this man has a problem, and I pray that you will help him. Please reduce his salary back to the place where he can afford to tithe.\u201d<\/p>\n
