"Giving Made Easy" 2 Corinthians 9: 6-15; Malachi 3: 8-12

Stewardship meets iPhone theology!  I have been contemplating how easy it is to use our phones to pay for things, even giving to different groups.

I have not done it (maybe i will today), but I see ads for texting a certain number from your phone, and you make a donation.  I suspect that giving through texting capitalizes on spontaneous giving.

Most banks have mobile apps now so that people can make payments, deposits, etc. using thier phone and the camera on their phone.

Kiosks in churches to allow for giving with an ATM card, credit card, or phone.

Technology has made giving easier than ever before.   Does that make people give more?

Can we connect the new technologies with becoming patterned givers, that is people who prayerfully consider their giving and put a plan into place to give?
