| Money Matters in Church |
This is a touchy subject. However, I have always believed that how congregation members value their pastor reveals how much they value the gospel. When a preacher goes up to the annual conference or church convention, what attitudes do the people have to the accommodation? What attitudes are there towards salary, expenses and even small luxuries? In Matthew 26:14-27:66 we read about several different extremes of attitude towards Jesus and the delicate topic of money. The worst attitude of all was that of Judas who betrayed his teacher for blood money. The most positive attitude of all was that of a woman who anointed Jesus’ head with a very expensive perfume. Even the disciples were critical of such a waste of money blessing their leader rather than giving it to the poor. Is there a time for both?
