No Tax Exempt Status=No Ministry

There may come a time where churches will be stripped of their tax-exempt status. When that happens, that will reveal the motives of many ministers. Will some remain in ministry for the right reason(s) or will some depart because they no longer are tax exempt?

Lean On Me-Bill Withers

I played this song 5 times yesterday. It has a spiritual meaning behind it. This song can mean for believers to lean on Jesus, or for everyone else, they can lean on loved ones for support. Regardless of the reason, this song stands the test of time.

Tough Times Reveal People's Greed

People are struggling as a result of COVID-19. Folks have/almost drained their savings to pay bills as a result of job loss, then you have greedy landlords like this who have zero compassion. God doesn't like ugly. There's no telling how long COVID-19 will last; President Trump is saying this could last until July/August, but even HE doesn't know. How many people have more than enough savings to carry them through? Dave Ramsey, and other financial professionals say that people should have at least 6 months savings just in case lean times come, but even with that, unexpected expenses come up that require folks to dip into their savings, so you just don't know. Greed is NOT a good look, and some landlords should be ashamed of themselves for trying to bleed money from unemployed folks. Even though many Americans will receive stimulus money (those with direct deposit get theirs faster), that money won't last for some people because many people have poor financial discipline. Greedy people irk me, and that goes double for those who hoard essentials without thinking of others.

Faith vs. Wisdom

Churches have been affected by COVID-19's social distancing guideline, and many pastors are streaming their services online for the congregation's safety. Some believers are in their feelings because they feel the government is intruding on their right to worship. The Bible obligates Christians to follow orders set by those in authority unless the orders defy God. How is following reasonable orders concerning your health & protection intruding on your freedom to worship God? Last time I checked, the body of Christ is the church, so we shouldn't need a building to worship God. That's not all; some Christians are critical of other believers for their "lack of faith". Let me get this straight, Christians are supposed to forfeit wisdom for faith's sake? Defying wisdom is careless because your putting your health and others' health at risk. You can't take chances because you don't know who could have COVID-19. If we're honest, some pastors feel if the congregation isn't present, they won't tithe when it's time for offering.
Bishop Jakes, Joel Osteen, Tony Evans, and other big-time pastors have been streaming their services, and I'm sure their members give faithfully, so other pastors should follow suit. Pastor Tony Spell of Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, LA has been arrested more than once for defying the coronavirus order. He says he will continue holding services regardless of the ban on large gatherings. His reason is he's teaching his members to exercise their faith for God's protection from the virus. I think that's difficult to do considering everyone is a potential carrier. There's a time to have faith, and a time to exercise wisdom. Now is NOT the time to be reckless with one's health.
