This is just another sad example of the selfishness that has replaced selflessness in society and sadly in the church as well.
The guilt trip is then played. Why do you not want to use the economy of God?

Tell me what family is in need.

What family is facing a medical crisis.

Give me a good place to put my seed.

Someone the church has overlooked.

We are told to watch our giving to other charities..

Why not the church...
