I think it's great that people are chiming in here. Even some lurkers can't resist stepping up and defending the LCM status quo. Please don't think I'm mocking or belittling, but this was exactly what I hoped would happen.

I've been one of the worst offenders when it comes to not giving. That's the beauty of the whole GIVING paradigm. It exposes us. It's where the rubber meets the road. Consider the following verses:

"It is more blessed to GIVE than to receive."

"God so loved the world that he GAVE..."

God gives. That's his nature. At its core love is giving.

"Greater love has no man than this: that he lay down (GIVES up) his life for his friends."

If you don't get giving you don't get God.
