Comments on: Being Excellent Christians http://www.bencotten.net/2007/02/12/excellence/ living life with eyes wide open Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:21:49 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: rosecapmom http://www.bencotten.net/2007/02/12/excellence/comment-page-1/#comment-551 rosecapmom Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:28:57 +0000 http://www.bencotten.net/2007/02/12/excellence/#comment-551 My husband worked for our church for 5 years and he was always amazed at the way things were handled. 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. My husband worked for our church for 5 years and he was always amazed at the way things were handled.
