I was gathering my papers and briefcase so that I could run out the door to an important meeting to plan the building of a larger church. I was in a rush.

Nevertheless, he promised God that he would continue to return 10% of his income, no matter what. Within three months, unexpected blessings began to happen. Alexander found a...
