Preach about God Tomorrow

Is God in your sermon notes for tomorrow? Or do you have a more relevant message?

It’s amazing how often you can site in some churches and not hear anything about God. I’m thankful the church I attend isn’t like this.

Years ago I attended the funeral of a young girl. The woman pastor gave one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. But it had nothing at all to do with God. I remember leaving and talking to my pastor as we walked to our cars, and saying how all those people, many of them who rarely darken a church door, just walked out without hearing a thing about Christ.

NAMB Spending

April 3rd, 2006

Joshua Sowin posted a rather depressing entry called The Problems of Institutional Giving. In it he discussing why it may be a better idea to give directly to missionaries than to large agencies.

The article he refers to is depressing. I hope the NAMB has truly corrected these issues. Time will tell.
