    personally i don't want to know how much or little anyone gives, it might have too much influence on what i think of them. Besides, since i let my wife write the tithe check for us, i have no idea how much i give most of the time, lol.

    I've always been more concerned about my sarcasm distribution skills.

    It's a Private Thing....

    What I give is between God and me. For many years, I gave only cash, taking away the ability of anyone in the church, pastor included, from knowing how much my gift was. Sorry, but, I believe we only need to gain God's approval , because only God does the blessing. The church finances committee, and the pastor don't hand of blessings to the giver, so why let them know anything. God receives the gifts, and God does the blessing, so I say keep it a private thing.:godisgood:

    Shalom :type:
