Corporate Sponsor

-

I mentioned the shortfall in our general fund yesterday at church.

This year, we've taken a couple of faith steps -- and our offerings haven't caught up yet. They will!

I reminded the congregation that God always honors steps of faithful obedience. He's never failed us yet -- and He's not going to fail us now!

"In fact," I said, "God told me that He has already provided all the money we need. Unfortunately, it's still in your pockets!"

I just read this morning that some Christian Ministries are now securing Corporate Sponsors.

First -- Marathons and other Sporting Events
Second -- Stadiums and Arenas
Now -- Christian Music Festivals
What's Next? Local Churches??

Now, that's an idea!! Just what we need for our budget deficit. I wonder who we could get to sponsor us?

How about "Wal Mart Wesleyan Church?" I wonder if the Trustees would go for that?

    Uh Oh -- It just dawned on me.
    With the current climate of evangelical consumerism, someone might think I'm serious about this Wal Mart thing -- or worse, some pastor might actually do it. God forbid!

    I can just see the headlines at FLAME now--Mark Wilson sells out-Walmart puts name on Hayward Wesleyan sign, pulpit and van.
    YEEE HAAA!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
