<<<Funny enough I think that God sets up blessings that men can enjoy even though they are not saved...>>>

Yes, the rain still falls upon the just as well as the unjust. The unjust still enjoy fresh breezes and sunshine. A man of means and abilities will still get ahead in this life whether he be saved or not unless God intervenes.

In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man had a way of making it in life while Lazarus did not.
The rich man was not richer because he was able to tithe and lazarus was not made poorer because he could not.

I'm not saying that God cannot bless a person materially more if they tithe but looking at Christian history in general it doesn't appear that he does. I'm still under the opinion that our crowns are in heaven and not on earth.
