Doing so, in most cases, is a robbery of God, because it fails to meet, first and foremost, the needs of fellow believers. Token benevolence with what's left over from the weekly giving of congregant members is a form of robbing God, pure and simple. Lavishing the bulk of one's own giving back upon himself by way of direct benefit isn't giving at all.
