[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5557739, member: 65823"] There's no mini sermon. This is usually quoted: "Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come." 1Cor. 16:1-2 Also this sometimes: "Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Cor. 9:7 A prayer of thankfulness is offered for our physical blessings. And then we give. Giving is a commandment on the first day of the week as seen in the text. It is one of the five acts of worship on the first day of the week.. The collective offering is used for preaching the gospel and helping the needy. It is "as one has prospered" and"decided in his heart" to give. There is no longer the 10% deal. That law was given to Israel and not the New Testament Church. A Christian who is prepared for worship doesn't get brow beat and cause him to reach in his pocket for another fifty. He has already examined himself and knows what he is going to give before he enters the building. [/QUOTE]
