I go to worship but preaching about stewardship makes it seem longer than it really is.

I find myself having/getting to give stewardship “moments” from time to time at our church, both at the 8:30 and the 11:00 services, each of which seldom (but occasionally) last more than an hour. If people would give maybe 5% of their income (forget the tithe, for most that just ain’t gonna happen) there’d seldom be any stewardship talks.

With some of the comments above, I wonder why people go to church. I happen to enjoy the fellowship, the music and the messages (although our wonderful pastor does trip over his tongue from time to time, he gets his points across). More than that, I come to worship God. I think we are called to do that, and an hour or two a week is precious little sacrifice for what He has given us...
