Message from Pastor Ed

March

We started back in January with our Discipleship 101 classes and they seem to be going along well. I am leading "The Way of the Master". Pastor Brandon is leading "Experiencing God". And Darwin Budnick is leading "Financial Peace University". My wife, June, is going through FPU and she is very excited with what she is learning.

One of the things she has told me is that, Dave Ramsey, says there are "four walls" in family finance:

1. Shelter
2. Food
3. Clothing
4. Transportation

These needs must be met in each family before that family can begin to address debt. In budgeting, these needs come first. This makes sense because if these needs are not provided for then the working members of a family cannot hold down a job. Without jobs the whole thing goes to pot. So, with that in mind I thought about what would be the "four walls" of church finance. I even went as far as to call and speak with a gentleman in Dave Ramsey's office named David Holderman to see what they might have to say on the subject. I mean, these guys are the financial experts. When they speak, people listen.

So, here is what David said, and I agree, these "four walls" of church finance are:

1. Ministry
2. Missions
3. Property
4. Administration.

These are the needs in a church family that must be met first. These are the purposes for which we exist and, in part, the means by which we fulfill these purposes. These purposes are the heartbeat and the lifeblood of a church family. And if we are not fulfilling the purposes for which we exist, then the whole thing goes to pot, so to speak.
I don't think any of us are interested in that!
I just can't wait,

Pastor Ed




 


 

 





 

Message from Associate Pastor Brandon

March

When Paul writes his letter to the Colossians, he gives them a great picture of his heart for them. He says "My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." I fully realize that I have nothing to impart to anyone in and of myself! It's an amazing thing though to have the honor of preaching and teaching Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. From a Pastor's heart, my prayer for you is that you may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

For His Glory,

Pastor Brandon
