 I think we have to be careful not to think we can manipulate God into doing something we want by taking certain actions. I like the way you put that, manipulating God. Sometimes we have a tendency to think that if we do certain things, like giving a certain amount of money, that we can somehow get God to do something for us. It doesn't operate that way at all. But do you think there are some ways that our culture sees extravagance as a sign of love and devotion?
