Time to get IT Done!

I dream of a church that is so in love with Jesus that it sacrificially gives so that the church can give away 50-75% of its budget to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, take care of the orphan and widow, AND pay a Godly competent staff (to love on broken people) what it needs to live and give at the same time. Sound radical? We are headed there.

That was my Facebook post today. I don't know where it came from. I had not been sitting around thinking about this stuff. A whole bunch of Scripture verged, I think. Now, I am in a panic because if you are going to write something like that, you better be ready to model it personally -- because each of us, individually, make up the church that would willing to do such a thing. Each part of the body must do its part to bring such Biblical things to fruition. Yikes! Gotta get to work!

There is probably a Biblical model for church that makes this look calm. This would be a good start for The Bridge though.

I think we have gone from about 5% in 2006 and have gone up about 5% each year since. And, that was in the middle of a building program. As soon as we dump this mortgage, we will be on our way. To God be the Glory for the things HE has done!
