I'd love for someone to start a thread about an honest pastor. But, unfortunately, you don't turn on the evening news and hear that "Thousands of planes took off and landed safely today", you only hear about the one that crashed.

And even more unfortunately, many people will say "Air travel is SO dangerous, I'm NEVER flying".


And, unfortunately, when people read these kinds of threads, many of them will say, "I'm NEVER paying my tithes now, because ALL preachers are dishonest crooks with huge homes".

Sorry, but I HATE the broad brush, folks.
Me, too. Thanks for your post.
