Many said it was one of the weakest areas of their spiritual lives. Many want to give more, but they feel they have too many bills. If we help people, they will generously give back to the church . I can't understand why they don't give to the ministry. I have discovered the people who give the most complain the least, while those who give the least complain the most.
People become more loyal and faithful when they are asked to give and serve.
Unless we teach biblical giving, people become increasingly self-centered. When the economy is down, we can't expect people to give . Several years ago when our church was considering whether to embark on a multimillion-dollar building program, our economy was in a downhill slide with high unemployment. Many members warned we should hold off until the economy changed. The large majority in church were employed, though, committed to their church, and willing to sacrifice when asked.
