1 /5 Smarties: Jesus does not look at the superficial things in this life. As a follower of Christ you are supposed to be able to go to your church and find people that follow and strive to be more like Jesus and find a sense of community and belonging. However, as you are aware by now, your church missed the mark on this with the woman who attended your church since 93’. When denying someone do you keep that in mind? I think we all know what Jesus would do in this situation. He would give. It’s not even about what she had or hadn’t given in tithes to the church. We are not perfect and we all fall short before God.
It seems the most rational step is to delete your logs of who gave what and eliminate the ID numbered envelopes as a way to eliminate this sin from the earthly desire that this system was created for.
I hope that this church has already prayed for forgiveness and the lord has brought them the correct convictions to correct this issue.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16, NIV
