Scripture tells us to be cheerful givers - not coerced or sad or angry givers. We do so in response to the grace and abundance we have received - recognizng that everything we have belongs to God. Giving also takes other forms that cash...most of us give by bringing dinners to the sick, adding to the church-run food bank, supporting missionaries, etc.

However, I don’t expect you to understand any of this.

Well, if you have received an abundance,, I can understand some guilt,, me,, I've never received a damn thing that did not cost blood/sweat. God either hates people or does not exist, take your pick.

Let me guess, no giving,, no heaven!
