Emphasis Preaching Journal

While recently listening to a public radio broadcast, I heard some social science experts talk about motives for charity giving. They discussed the various things that prompt us to give. Many of their observations about human nature weren't kind. It's true that some give only if the hospital erects a plaque or names a wing after them. People like that were around in Jesus' time, too. They wanted trumpet calls to accompany the clink of their coins in the coffers.
