Lookit, I resent the business of big church much as the next guy but giving is a good thing.
Of course it is. If it weren't for churches who tend to deal with the completely out of touch, mentally ill, hard core street people, I don't know what would happen.
But I guarantee you some homeless fuck hassles Osteen walking down the street, his ass isn't even giving him a sammich.
Same goes if someone needing help collapsed on the front entrance (security protected) cathedral church in practically any big city in this country.
From a biblical worldview it is absolutely the individuals responsibility to clothe the naked and feed the poor. Many of them are certainly doing that.
Sure it is.
Grass roots. Small churches do these things all the time. They truly try to help.
They get it.
But get that church big? Please.
Skid, you and I have known each other long enough.
Frickin' Evans are not the same as good people.
Sad thing is, that gets blurred.
Mainly because the hypocritical claim what isn't earned.
