I think of all the nice things I could buy or do.
People get tired of hearing about money.
Many of us see tithes and offerings as the way that we support the church. We simply pay for services rendered. Some of us even use tithes and offerings as a way to force the church to listen to us, or to change. And we see stewardship as the church's way of manipulating us into giving more. The steward is the one entrusted to manage his or her master's assets.
