But then, that's not going to happen.
Ben Franklin said, "Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."
Make sure the Morgans are out of jail for Sunday Service. Their sermon is, "The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, but not if we get there first."
"As for what caused the sore throats, Memorial spokesman Brian Lazenby said no official explanation has been determined, and all employees have been released from the emergency room. "
Hysteria and a chance at the "Disability/Workman's Comp Wheel of Fortune.
Not pastors who drive expensive cars, live in new mansions, have a church that looks like "Six Flags Over Jesus", steal from others, and defend thieves.
Saving Mary Cody: One woman's efforts change everything for homeless woman
"Harry, you'll find no gold or crystal at my little church, which gave groceries and listening ears to 46 needy families yesterday."
Thanks for your small church. Often, the smaller the church, the larger the heart.
