How do we react to the financial meltdown as individual believers and as the church. I don’t want “10 Strategies for Saving your 401k”, I mean, how do we respond? We are on the front lines of a global crisis. 500,000 new unemployed probably means at least someone in our neighborhood is affected. 500,000 foreclosures probably means someone in our congregation is touched.
What are we doing? How are we responding? How are we loving? Trust in our banks is gone, is it appropriate to mention treasures in heaven? The housing market is in freefall, do we talk about mansions in heaven? Our nation sinks deeper into debt, do we share our Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills?
We are uniquely positioned to respond in a way that could make an eternal difference. I raise the question, not with pat answers in mind but with a certain urgency of heart. How will we respond? What will be our “Spiritual Stimulus Plan”, even as we reach out to those in need. I am working on finding some answers, I hope you will join me! Please share your thoughts...
