God, Lawfulness, and Ownership

Luke 20:19-26

If we are to Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's (money) and to God the things that are God's, why does the Church keep asking me for money?

Pardon me--I just posed this question to my husband, which has resulted in much commentary about Church as a business and hypocrisy in religion. A bit of a deviation from the subject perhaps, but interesting nonetheless.

What things are the emperor's? The Church's? God's? Are they distinct, or are some of these possessions shared?
