Others view their giving as a huge burden and are unwilling to part with more than a token offering. Worship and the One Body When Christians assemble on the Lord's day, we offer homage to God. This is Christian worship. However, unlike what many have assumed in their ignorance, the general assembly of Christians to worship includes much more than what we see or hear. When the true and knowledgeable Christian worships in this assembly, he is acting not as an individual but as a part of the whole body.
Christians join their voices in common singing.
Christians join as one body in singular prayer to God offered through Jesus as head of that body. Similarly, the freewill offering of Christians is nothing more than the church pooling her funds together to increase her ability to supply the needs of those she helps. Each act of worship in some way expresses the unity of the body, individuals joining together as one body. No part including only one member nor a small percentage of the whole body. The Christian Offerings in the Bible One of the most impressive characteristics of the church in the first century was her generosity and hospitality.
