[Faith-talk] mennonites was Church of Christ singing

[Ashley Bramlett]

ah, if pastors don't live by the bible, seems like they don't practice what 
they preach. hmm.

Joshua,

How they spend their money is between them and God. Yes, they
probably should be wiser with what God has given them, but so should
we. It's not up to you to judge them. If you have a problem with how
they spend it, write them and tell them, and see where that gets you.
I'm tired of you venting here like that. We can't do anything about
it, and neither can you. God didn't make you, or any of us, judge and
jury. Not all who call themselves pastors live by the Bible, and deal
with selfishness in their lives. We just don't have to contribute to
their ministries! Maybe you're wiser than they at your young age, but
God will deal with them in His time and in His way.

Blessings,

Linda
