What if our Church Members were Debt Free?

That's the question Tony Morgan asks at his blog, tonymorganlive.com.

So many people who attend not only ours, but many churches, have money struggles. Statistics show that about 40 to 70% of our church attendees are struggling with their finances and debt. But, what if our Church Members were Debt Free?

Some of the answers are:

• Less stress
• Freedom to pursue some God-given dreams
• Ability to fund some shared God-given dreams between the people and their church

Quoting Joe Sangl, he says, "When people are financially free, they are much more likely to go do exactly what they have been put on Earth to do — regardless of income potential."

What do you think? Would Warwick Assembly be a stronger and more vibrant community if this were true... I'd like to hear your comments.

Quote of the Day

Just found this quote...

“Everytime you forgive someone who hurt you, encourage someone who feels defeated, extend compassion to someone who stands alone, confront someone in love, open your heart to a friend, reconcile with an enemy, devote time to a child, you align yourself with God’s central purpose in this world.” – John Ortberg

As we celebrate Jesus' resurrection, let's be people who are indeed aligned with God's purposes in this world!

A Christian Faith without Christ?

When a writer says

"a moralistic religion of self-salvation is our default setting as fallen creatures. If we are not explicitly and regularly taught out of it, we will always turn the message of God's rescue operation into a message of self-help."

you know you're not reading something to make you feel good, but a rather a prophetic call. A call to return to the unadulterated gospel of salvation.
