Todd Hiestand has some thoughts about why it is important to talk about money at church. Here is his list. Go read his post for discussion under each item.
I’ve become convinced that the church needs to get better at talking about money clearly, passionately and even prophetically. So, here are some reasons why I’m a proponent about taking offering.
It’s great accountability for mission.
It’s an opportunity to teach whole life discipleship.
I love the weekly liturgical act of coming together to share with others.
It is counter-cultural.
It’s an opportunity for people to practically share in our shared mission.
It’s an opportunity to thank each other.
