An Ungrateful Beggar
StoryIllustrationParable★★A preacher in China once told of a man who went to the market with seven coins. He saw a beggar on the way and gave the unfortunate man six of his coins. Later the beggar stole the seventh one. Thus those who refuse to pay tithe and keep the Sabbath ungratefully steal from God.
Wyatt Allen.
