“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap” (Luke 6:38a-NIV).
"A farmer went out to sow his seed…Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matthew 13: 3b, 8-NIV)
These and other passages clearly teach us that if we give our money liberally and faithfully to “God anointed” ministries then Jesus promises to give back to us multiple times what we gave. Right? It is if you believe the message of the growing number of advocates of the doctrine of “Seed-Faith”.

Those are good questions, and at least one denomination believes we should not worship on Sunday. The Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) teaches that Christians should attend church on Saturday, not Sunday.
