The person with the most money was listened to the most. The person with the most influence was asked for their opinion. The people working for the church were the last to be asked for an opinion. The business of a church should be handled like a business. After all, it is the Lord's money and should be treated as such. The "outsiders" were and still are treated like outsiders! Let us never forget that it's not about us, how we dress, how we feel, what we want. The church is called out to be different from the world. It's all about Christ, forgiveness, mercy, salvation, humility.rosecapmomTue, 02 Oct 2007 15:28:57 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/2007/02/12/excellence/#comment-3617492I know. That site is baffling.
