"Some of us put our offering into the plate with a triumphant bounce as much as to say: "There--now God will feel better!"... I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have ... It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these ... You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself--but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you."
-AW Tozer, Christ the Eternal Son
