"My greatest sin is not what I've done, but rather what I've failed to do"

Let's give it all away

What if I gave you $500 cash and ask you to spend it wisely. What would you buy?

What if I said you had to spend it on someone else, whom would you choose?

Lets say the money needs to be spent to further Gods kingdom. Perhaps you would give it to the poor. How creative can you get? Could you use this cash to attract a non-believer to church? How many non-believers could you attract? How would you do it? Do you think you could lead someone to the Lord with only a few bucks for coffee? Imagine how far that would go. Maybe you could pay someone’s rent, fix their car, or mow their lawn.

How far can $500 go?

World Missionary Press can produce a 48-page scripture booklet and mail anywhere in the world for only 4¢ each (that’s 12,500 booklets).

Where will you invest yours? Think outside the box. How can you make your money go further. What will make the biggest impact?

Your Sunday school room might need new carpeting, but is that how you want to spend YOUR money? Will that make the difference when visitors come in, Will that be what it takes to push them over the edge, into the arms of Christ? (disclaimer: I'm not against new carpeting. I know that we have a responsibility to maintain our facility. Would you please stay focused on the point.)

Once we figure this out. We'll brainstorm on how we can get $5oo each. Did I mention, our Father owns a thousand cattle on a thousand hills. Maybe He could help.

This is the post most worthy of your comments. So please lets get creative together.
