The last church I went to one of the associate pastors gave a mini sermon EVERY Sunday before the service began. It was full of guilt, duty, and promises of reward.
They would pass the collection plate around looking if you put something in it. They even had a tithing machine that looked like an ATM. They had someone stand there watching you swipe you debit card and transfer money to them.
The church way paid for and they had so much money they didn't know what to do with it. Although the church was modern and in great shape they had it remodeled and had the parking lot repaved. The parking lot was fine before. It wasn't cracked up or bad looking at all. What a waste of money.
