This is so true. What's worse is that it's considered normal. That's the way it is across the country. Even the institutional system considers it holy that 75 - 85% of the giving is devoted to buy hired help and buildings that benefit mostly the givers themselves. That's pooling, not giving.

I really like the distinction between "pooling resources" and "sacrificial giving." I have heard of giving to missions and mercy ministries 10% of their budget right off the top. It would be nice to see the institutional church lead the charge towards sacrificial giving.

A picture speaks a thousands words. In this case maybe a few dollars. Awesome!
