Too often, the focus of "offering time" is about the church getting the money it needs to operate. Tithes and offerings is a time of worship. It is a way we honor God and when faith comes and we give according to how God designed His system there are many promises that will manifest in our life.

Having a box in the back and nothing being said about giving robs people of the Word, the opportunity, and the reason we give.
In the post your quoting, he DID mention that the pastor preaches on tithes and giving from time to time....

While in his last statement he mentions missionary giving, what he said was, "As for offerings. We at my church DO NOT take up offering or evne mention it."

I assume the misspell would be "even". They don't take up offerings or even mention offerings
