In terrible economic times more depressed individuals are arriving at our church doors seeking reprieve from fiscal impropriety. Some are indigenous to us, while the greater majority we don’t know at all. Without contemplating, their insistence stems from a perception given by our lavishly decorated worship centers and the ostentatious lifestyles of the preachers within.
