Understood, Josh: Practicing what you preach
Fellow blogger, Josh, has posted a wonderful story:
An Arkansas church hands out $5,000 to needy church members during series on giving:
The offering baskets at a North Little Rock church were operating in reverse. Summit Church on Sunday dished out $5,000 to needy members of its congregation. Pastor Bill Elliff says worshippers received cash to pay medical and electric bills, buy children’s school clothes, make a security deposit for an apartment and replace a broken washing machine.
