I feel like if you want to give, nobody should have to force you, remind you, prod you, insinuate to you, subliminally hint to you, etc. If you want to give to the church and it's in your own heart then you will.
I, for one, have a problem like when I go to other churches, and they take up an offering and then they count it and say, "Oh we just need $300 more dollars", and they go throughout the congregation trying to hit up more people. If they DIDN'T give the first time, they didn't have it in their heart to give. SO that goes to show you that the church is more concerned about their monetary state, than their parishioners spiritual state. God loves a CHEERFUL giver, not one who gives GRUDGINGLY!!! I know that some may not agree with me, but that's just MY opinion.
