Many of you know one of my favorite offering introductions: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Please stand. Now, reach your arms out forward. Grab the wallet of the person in front of you and give like you've always wanted to give."

Another idea that hit me this a.m. is to encourage your congregation to play the lottery heavily, all of the while committing to the Lord a 20% tithe on winnings. It's a can't lose. Don't you think?!

Did you see the bumper sticker that read, "Tithe if you love Jesus. Any fool can honk."

Definition of LOTTERY = A voluntary tax for people that are bad at math.
I prefer to follow Jacob's example.
