I've heard so much of give the seed and God will multiply it back to you..as if giving is only for what you get in return.

The first time I was in church in many years was for a baby's baptism a few years ago. The minister was speaking about two church members who had approached him with their newly attained riches. One was a very large diamond ring and the other was a new bigger boat. I thought perhaps it was in poor taste for him to single out his church members..thinking that he was going to bring up the sins of pride or perhaps the poor. Instead, he went on to say those people are justified in their happiness and pride because they've worked hard for the possessions..and if only more people would be that excited about giving to the church, they would be also be blessed with more.

I sat there in shock.
