Building off your suggestion, in another direction.
If a church believes that supporting Missions would not benefit their own church growth, does that explain the weak Missions giving in some areas/regions?
Wouldn't their "carnal" mindset be, Let's use that money we would have given to Missions to instead sow and reap in "our own field"? An "us four and no more" mentality vs an "getting outside our walls" focus.
