Deacon in charge:
On Sunday morning, Steve Daniel laid out for us where we are financially. It is not a
good picture. Without question, we have hit hard times financially.
There are many reasons: failed economy, job losses, death, homebound members and
there is that age old problem of not giving. Two causes for not giving: 1.) A lack of
understanding on what the Bible says about giving. Sometimes this lack of
understanding comes from not studying scripture. Sometimes it comes from a lack of
teaching at the local church level. 2.) Not keeping the most important the most
important. When this happens, we fill our lives with wants and wishes and do not fill the
collection baskets.
Of course, there are things we must do in family life and work life, but to give to the
Lord as we prosper, and to plan our giving, is what we are called to do as Christians.
With work schedules and time we have to travel and be gone, it is imperative that we
make up when we are not at Eastwood. Our budget is made on all of us giving, each
week, to the Lord. When over a third of the congregation is out most Sundays, it is a
must for our budget’s sake, that we make it up or give in advance.
As Steve said, “There will be changes made.” Let’s all, you and me too, honor these
changes and do better. Paul wrote to the Colossians in 3:17, “And whatever you do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through Him.”
May God bless Eastwood Church of Christ, and may we bless God in our giving.
