Giving??
I had a professor in seminary who told us one day
that there were four stages of giving, which he then proceeded
to illustrate. “The first stage is like a man who
stands up in church and says, ‘Hey, everybody, look! I’m
putting a hundred dollar bill in the offering!’ The second
stage is when the same man puts the hundred dollar bill in
the offering but does not announce the fact. However, he
makes it convenient somehow for someone to find out. The
third stage is when he puts the hundred dollar bill in the
offering and neither makes the announcement nor makes it
convenient that someone find out. But he feels so righteous.
With that the seminary professor changed the subject
and started talking about something else. One of the
students interrupted him, saying, “Now wait a minute, didn’t
you say that there were four stages of giving?” “That‘s
right,” the professor replied, “Well then, what’s the fourth
stage?” “Who knows?” the teacher replied.
