You can't be right with God and wrong about money
For the past several months, my family has been attending Long Hollow Baptist Church. There are many reasons why we believe God may be leading us to call Long Hollow our next church home. For me, one reason is the senior pastor, David Landrith.
I have been honored to get to know David from a distance via social media and in person. One of the things I enjoy most about David is that he is honest. He recently posted I apologize as he prepared his readers for a new series on money that began October 18. When I read this, all our conversation about ministry and money ran through my mind. I was very proud of his courage and conviction.
I wish more pastors would realize that while they may find it easier to talk about things like "faith, hope, and love" or even "sin and salvation" the conversation of money needs to be injected with the Word of God. There are so many competing messages that are influencing Christians in ways that are paralyzing our ability to be the Church as God originally intended.
I hope to hear David's message from more pulpits: You can't be right with God and wrong about money.
