Online Giving, A Growing Trend

Posted December 26th @ 8:10 am by David

Looking through my email this morning, I came across this story about online giving for churches. I found it rather interesting.

With the online donation option, the diocese joined a growing group of churches nationwide that are using technology and the Internet to make weekly giving easier.

Churches say high-tech donations are a response to changes in society, with fewer people carrying cash and using credit and ATM cards and the Internet to make transactions.
So what do you think about this growing trend in light of a verse like…
Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is servant to the lender. – Proverbs 22:7, NLT
Are churches encouraging their congregations to go into debt by using credit cards for weekly giving? Is that something a church should do?
