Welcome Ryan. I attend a church which has an attendance of five thousand. Great atmosphere, great music. Wasn't you re typical T.B.N. type begging for money. These guys are slick, all they needed was 30 million dollars for a new campus so they could reach the world for Christ. All sounded good till one day I was driving to work and was taking a short cut through a subdivision and lo and behold , what did I see? You guessed it. Senior staff driving their convertables out of their big fine homes while they ask you to give sacrificially. It didn't appear that they were lacking for anything. Even though I enjoyed the way they did church, I knew then it was time to walk away. Yes I am positive they will reach their goal the ground has been broken already, the sad part is people's businesses are failing in that church and people are losing their homes the project is still continuing on. It is as they would put it "our responsibility" to save the lost and reach the hurting people and must come through the needs of a building. How sad. Man in his own dreams and desires has been blinded to the truth.Yes it is a great honor for God to shed his grace on us.
