Worship and Money

Do these two go together? To explore this we need to know what worship is. Worship as a verb means to render religious reverence and homage to. I find it interesting that when Jesus talks about paying taxes to the government of Rome he uses the word "render."  Also we sometimes talk about "paying homage" to someone who has done something good or that we respect.  If we are ascribing the unfathomable worth of Christ in our services through music and the Word, then why do some view the offering as a hinderance to their lives or worship experience.  We should see the offering time as an act or worship and letting God know that we honor Him and all that He is with ALL that we are.  

People get funny when you talk about money.  They do not seem to mind talking about styles of music, preaching, service orders, etc.  What do you think?
