I am not talking about your money, so don't get worried.What I am talking about is suppose you went to worship God and be used by Him.Things like:
1.Pray for the message and the message giver.
2.Lend a word of encouragement to a hypocrite.
3.Offer a little help to a single parent (can I watch your little one sometime just to give you some time to your self?)
4.Asked someone if they are lonely and would they like a visit.
5.Invite someone who doesn't get shown much attention to come over for dinner and a visit.
6.Go there with a prayer that says use me Lord however you want to,and please don't allow satan to cause me to be offended.

The Bible says that we are all called to minister. The biggest misconception about this statement is that ministering involves everything dealing with your christian walk. Therefore we are all called to be apart one way or the other. God Bless....

If people went to give rather than receive then..Many more people would enjoy going to church.
I am a firm nonreligious person (however very spiritual), but speaking in general about church and religion from a totally neutral standpoint: if people saw church as a fun time to be together and pray and help each other and worship instead of a weekly chore it would be a more enjoyable experience for all.

Interesting that you ask. My mother and I were talking about that very thing this morning, how so many people claim to be Christian but want nothing to do with organized religion.
No religion is going to be perfect because it is all devised by man in an attempt to worship God in a group setting. But we are called to share one another’s burdens. If you go to church thinking what’s in it for me, we miss the point.
If we find there are things that need improvement in the church, we should work to improve it, if at all possible.
Beyond study and worship, we should go with the understanding that the pews are filled with hurting souls who need us to reach out to them every bit as much as we want them to reach out to us.
What if the person seated next to you is lonely and has been praying to God to find a friend. How easily we can help answer that prayer with a warm word and a hug.

I think you'd have an Acts 2 church.
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayers. Then fear came over everyone, and many wonders and signs were being performed through the apostles.
Now all the believers were together and had everything in common. So they sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as anyone had a need.
And every day they devoted themselves [to meeting] together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.

We would all receive far more than we gave.
