he looked at me and said todd as a baptist preacher i tithed and i gave. saw little or no harvest. he said i would continue to tithe, help poor people but i saw little to no harvest. he said it was not until i discovered the law of expectation, when i began to sow my seed with expectation, he said i began to harvest like you wouldn't believe. the difference in your today and your harvest of tomorrow. the difference in your seed of today and your harvest of tomorrow is expectation, the force of expectation, confident anticipation that good things are going to happen. you see in the body of christ we have been taught that it's wrong to sow and expect something from god. we have been taught that you shouldn't give to get. anybody ever been taught that? it's wrong to give to get. well, let me explain something to you. if a farmer sowed seed in the earth and you ask farmer jones, farmer jones, you expecting to reap a harvest? nope, nope, nope, nope. nope. we would have him institutionalized because farmer jones has been out in the heat too long. no, no. no. he

it's like the prayer tithe offerings you make.h prayer tithe, you make that with the individual prayer to your specific victim and everything. that prayer is sent to the spirit world and it goes directly to your victim, asking them for forgiveness, stuff like that. that's important. >> i have a question for you. kinslow's religious articles. his native articles. they won't give them to him today. >> why? >> they are saying he needs to go through it and you need to decide what he can and can't have. but it is all sitting there in a small pouch. >> do you want me to double check? >> yes. could you do that, please? he's been here since tuesday and has been asking for it every day. if we could get it to him, it would be a good thing. okay. thanks. >> what i need you to do is inmate kinslow, tell him to give me a written request. as soon as possible. address it to me. requesting his religious items. what i will do is i will look at it and see if i can get it through. tell him i will do my very best to get it today. but if not, i will d

here's what he gives for bringing a tithe and the offering."see if i won't open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you don't have room enough to receive." the apostle paul, the brilliant explainer of the gospel transition of the human heart said in 2 corinthians 9:6, "if i sow bountifully, i will reap bountifully." i have never met a christian who did not believe in sowing. it is as natural as breathing to a believer to believe in sowing. i've never met a farmer who did not believe in sowing. i've never met a preacher who did not believe that god was worthy of our seed. but i've only met a handful that believe in reaping. only a handful. now we sow to god based on his qualification to receive. but we can only reap proportionate to our confidence that we're worthy to receive. there's a little catch. "mike, is it possible for somebody to sow seed and not get a harvest?" yes. yes. because if all i needed to do was to sow seed... a rich man could purchase god in his favor, and a poor man wouldn't have a chance. but god added so

that's why they tithe and give 10% of their earnings to the church. >> it's a struggle.ell you, since i've been working, there's a certain delight that goes into that tithe now. i think more so than before. because it has new meaning. it has especially good meaning now because god's promise to us held, too. >> good for him. so if you're planning to fly home for the holidays, if you get hungry at the airport like i do, it turns out you have more healthy choices to choose from. felicia taylor live at the new york stock exchange. we're going to talk about this airport restaurant makeover, but first tell us a little about the stocks. >> yeah, i think it's a little too soon to call this a santa claus rally, we'll see if it can actually last, but naturally there is a little bit of a rebound from the losses we've seen over the last few trading sessions. but the most significant part of this is we've had an updated housing report. home building jumped in november to a new two-year high. still at the press levels, and analysts do worry about who is going to actually be buying the

he has tithes every year. he gives at least 10% of his pre-tax income every year.timated up to $250 million, so he's giving away millions and millions of dollar, much of it to the mormon church. he also has that same frugality. some once joked when he went to the movies, he used to pop his own popcorn. two things about him. one, he's deeply anchored in his faith and even more in his family. ann romney is a huge influence on his life. both he and she said that he had some reluctance about running in this presidential campaign and she is the one who persuaded him to do it. this is a woman who has persuaded him to make big, big decisions. >> these next four weeks, these are going to be critical weeks. what do you expect? how is he going to deal with this emerging threat of newt gingrich? >> i'm not sure they've made up their minds yet. i think his campaign, the one thing they can't do is panic of course. he's got to shake it up a little bit. i came waway with the impressio he needs to humanize himself. remember how important it was for hillary clinton when she was run

those of us that are evangelical christians give a 10th, a tithe to our local church.ing in that world. but certainly, any percentage works. obviously, the more money you make, the less income -- the less outgo you have, the less debt you have, the more wiggle room that you have the higher percentage. i'm working sometimes with athletes or music stars or those kinds of things, they're able to give a larger percentage of their income. so it's not a certain percentage but sure is good to give at least 10. >> all right. james from new jersey writes this. when looking at a nonprofit organization's budget, what are the red flags i'm looking for? >> well, i want to look for some kind of certification from the group they operate in. there's lots of different watchdog groups in the charity world and look for those. for instance, the ecfa is one christian accountability. you can look for that in ministries is one. you can look for that. other things i'm looking for is look for the high salaries in people operating it and a high rash other of overhead. what percentage of the dol

and there were all manner of armored cars, there were track vehicles, ambulances, cooking, serried tithe. they had a catalogue of disasters every day. things were breaking down in axles were being benton cars and tanks were falling off the road. there was one particular vehicle called the millipore which seemed bent every day on hauling people a ditches. and then it got into trouble somewhere in utah but the thing was the roads were reasonable up to council bluffs, iowa, across the missouri river and after that there were essentially no roads until you get to lake tahoe in california. so that 12 or 1500 miles for these vehicles was almost impossible, and when eisenhower wrote his report, he virtually said if there is an asiatic enemy we are going to take 58 days to go from our basesfaces, we have lost basically. so it lodged in his mind there and then that we have to have a decent road system, conventional belief is that when he saw the german autobahn system in the 1940s that is when he said america has got to have this road system. that i think that's not quite true. i think the real g
