There's nothing better than snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! So when one well-trusted teammate with a lot of authority used his position to steal six figures from church funds over a period of time, and was finally caught, confronted, and confessed, the church could have fallen apart in the face of such a betrayal. The money will probably never be reclaimed, but the church family has increased their giving to make up for the budget shortfalls, and the church leaders have begun implementing new methods and practices to ensure austerity in spending and accountablity in stewardship. From the pain of betrayal and thievery came the realization that there was a spiritual problem in the church - the people were being disobedient to God in the stewardship of their finances. But the dire situation caused the leadership to investigate how people were giving, and once confronted with the reality that the tithing was typically only 10% of the 10%, an awakening happened among the people, who responded by honoring God through their finances as well as their worship!

Jim, I was going to leave a comment on your blog page to let you know how much I loved your blend of old and new this Sunday, but I couldn't figure out how to do it on your page. Probably will get more comments there if that's addressed. That being sad: NICE FLOW, brother!

FRED, I'm feeling your pain on the annual meeting... I remember an awkward moment in a church when at the end of the service, all of the "non-members" were "invited" to leave the sanctuary. Oh well, so much for the Christian hospitality THAT day!

The left foot of fellowship!

Hey people! I finally woke back up! DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME - an evil plot by the government to disrupt worship services all over the country??? I guess you'll have to read my 70x7 Captain's Log to find out!

I'll be stopping by to see what you folks were up to - I'm making a list, and I'm checking it THRICE.
