Great idea...

This is a terrific story! What a lot of great ideas this congregation had. The money distributed by the pastor was just a catalyst, of course; I’m sure most adults in the congregation had $50 that they could have “invested” on their own, if they’d just thought about it.

Like the master, he would entrust each adult with a sum of money - in this case, $50. Church members had seven weeks to find ways to double their money, the proceeds to go toward church missions.

I don't like it at all. This pastor knows damn well that many people will "cough up" some money whether really made it or not, so as to not be embarrassed ("You unfaithful bad servant..."), and so this is just compelling them to give to the missions fund.

Oh my! What a wonderful report. Taking God at His Word has transformational results!

I would really like to be able to hear the song that Ms. Nagy wrote for her dying father- “Before you Go”.

If anyone knows how to find the full words and/or music for her song, please let me know.
