6. I wouldn't get so upset
It's probably a stewardship appeal. Churches do fundraising at this time of year, to be able to write budgets to be presented at annual meetings, which are usually held soon after the first of the year. Stewardship campaigns often use clever slogans to get people thinking about how much they should be giving to the church. I would read this as meaning that one should give the right, that is, the appropriate, amount to God by supporting the church and charities....not what's left, that is, what's leftover after other expenditures.

I don't see anything sinister in it at all. Sheesh!
