Thanks Guys. Brian, I have discovered there is a secret to prosperity. and I'll be happy to share it with anybody! It's honoring God with my tithes and offerings. My wife and I have been doing this for about 25 years now and I have never had a down year in my dental practice. After business expenses are paid the rest is our profit, right? The first 10% of the profit goes to my local church. Then we pay taxes and all our other expenses. We have many opportunities to make offerings beyond the tithe and this totals about 5% of our income. God says that a tenth of all our increase (profit) is his. He lets us hold His part to see what we will do with it. If we steal it and spend it on our own greedy and selfish wants then he doesn't send His message, or instructions, or His word to the pastor and no body in the church gets fed spiritually. He also puts a curse on our business or job and everything goes downhill from there. If He wants to channel some money to the church for a special project He wants accomplished is He going to bless me with business knowing I will write a check for 10% on the weekend or is He going to bless someone that doesn't tithe or even go to the church? Tithing is the only area in the bible where God says to test Him. It's in Malachi chapter 3:10 Try it you'll like it.
