Steve-r-ino makes an excellent point. Something that I've noticed is that a lot of folks who advocate for doing their offerings and such "just like the first century church" fail to account for the way modern economies operate.
We create wealth today. Back then they had to either grow it, breed and raise it, fish it, chop it, weave it or dig it out of the ground. We've got a playing field that simply didn't exist in the first century.
Perhaps that's why we see so many running afoul of the rules and such. There really is a lot of gray that you can find yourself swallowed up in, even with the best of intentions. - - - Not really speaking about "Memphis area" here, just generally and along the lines of The Epilator's profundity.
Oh. And it's January. Get rid of the Xmas decorations already.
