Don't give just for convenience
Dr. Roberto MirandaIn our times, in many Christian circles giving has become mechanical, something one uses to manipulate God, and almost as if to force Him to bless us and provide for our selfish and materialistic motives.
A beautiful and profound doctrine about generosity to God and others has turned into something crude and harsh. It has been deformed and ugly, when in reality it is something sublime and artistic. In many churches today there is talk of giving almost as if it were about twisting God's arm.
