Matthew 6:3-4 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

2 Corinthians 9:7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Do you try to persuade people to give? Do you quote verses about God rewarding our giving? Do you rely on the collection to support your family?
What does Jesus want to say to you about how you take offerings?
