Why should donations drop? If Christians are giving tithes, offerings and donations based upon the scriptural belief that God will bless them for doing this, then why would they stop donating?

I know of many churches that have volunteers for Sunday Schools, church nurseries and so on. Christians who expect to get paid for teaching Sunday School and so on will have to put God before Mammon.

I admire your faith in peoples’ fundamental goodness and ability to see beyond their own self-interest, but I think it’s a bit too optimistic.

“Christians who expect to get paid for teaching Sunday School and so on will have to put God before Mammon.”

It won’t matter whether they expect it or not. If you are a business, you have to pay your employees, and if people are doing work for you, they are your employees whether you call them that or not. That’s the law.
