Its about why we give, not how to ask. It's about what motivates us to contribute money to churches. It also debunks some of the conventional wisdom, such as Catholics don't contribute because of public opposition to social issues. Because we're insecure about stewardship, clergy often look for materials that take little time, focus on the budget, challenge people the least, and offer the illusion of a quick-fix. They just ask the people to give.
Successful stewardship takes a lot of attention.
Building a solid financial base in a church is done by educating people about the relationship between their money and their faith, and that's a long-term thing. The creed and the offering are both part of our responses. The first thing in good stewardship is setting a goal. And when you find the joy in it, you'll want to give and give and give. Although organized religion receives about half of all charitable giving in the US, evidence suggests that churches' share of members' income is shrinking.
