We need to put safes in booths(like voting booths) in our lobby's and just ask those that can give to give secretly. They will love it because we are doing what Jesus taught verbatim. Then we can officially "guarantee" successful open blessings because we did it right.

I believe in what I call "grace giving". People give as they have purposed in their hearts. Those wishing to become sustaining partners in ministry can make a "vow" (a pledge to God) to give a certain amount or percentage over a given period of time (typically a year commitment).
This way churches can accurately forecast pertaining to their operational budget.
