WAR EAGLE.

(Auburn First Baptist is in Auburn, Alabama, as is Auburn University.)

We have 300 Baptist churches in a county with 17,000 people. We also have 30 Methodist Churches, 2 Presbyterian Churches, one Lutheran, one Catholic, one Unitarian, one Assembly of God, one Church of God, maybe two dozen non-denominational churches and somewhere there's a Jehovah's Witness group meeting.

So which church do you think is doing to most to meet the needs of the poor?

By implication, that would be the Baptists.

The one that is preaching the gospel.

2 Presbyterian Churches

At least three. One PCA, One Anglo PCUSA, and one Korean PCUSA.

Answer in the short future is: NONE!

With God raising the Body of Christ to the next level, through the Trinity Broadcasting Network, Lakewood Church, and Saddleback Church, for examples, people sowing into those Godly institutions will begin reaping huge harvests and the reapers will then be able to help the poor.

The poor will then "learn how to fish" through their donations and then the former poor can begin raising up other poor and on and on the Gospel goes.

Meanwhile, those franchise churches you named will die of old age, having outlived their original destiny.

Your point leads to a false conclusion.

Rather than list the number of churches of a particular denomination, how about listing the number of participants affiliated?

If each Baptist church consisted of 10 people, and the 30 Methodist churches consisted of 101 people, your implication would be incorrect.
