Collection Comments: Suggested Statements for the Contribution

Let us give like we believe God provides.

The collection is taken every Sunday. Giving is an essential part of our worship. Those who participate need to be prepared. The amount that is given rests with the giver (though the one presiding can certainly set the tone).

The following “collection comments” are written to help those who officiate in this segment of worship. The “comments” are designed to focus the minds of those who “lay by in store.”

“Collection comments” are short exhortations on giving back to God. Each one is roughly 130 words. They take less than ninety seconds to read. All of them are based on Scripture. They are reproduced in “large print” to facilitate easier use.

Some “collection comments” speak to the use of money. Others clarify the purpose of giving. Several warn the worshiper about the misuse of wealth. All of them enhance our understanding of the contribution. My sole objective in writing the “collection comments” is to aid brothers and sisters in this vital part of their worship to God.

We have all contributed. The following “comments” are intended to lift our understanding above perfunctory obedience. We need to review our participation in giving of our money. Above all, I want to renew our commitment to supporting the cause of Christ.

It is these concerns that moved me to write this little book. I need these reminders as much as anyone. I wrote them for me as well as for you. I share them because I assume you want to give in an acceptable manner.
