     | 7,036 views

    When we hear the word giving in church, we often think, here we go again. The church or pastor only wants us to give because he gets more money or looks more successful. The reality is that God wants us to give so we dont trust in money or stuff ahead

    “Be the church would ya!” Young people practice faith in the same way their parents practice faith. Studies today call this “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism”. It is a very self-centered spirituality; a self-absorbed Christianity.
