"Put the money in the Pastor's hand."

Ezekiel 44:30
Put the dough in the pastor's hand so that your house will be blessed!

This is different from your tithes. You know you're supposed to give that.

But everyone that wants to be blessed, come down here and put some dough in the pastor's hand.

This isn't your Pastor's Anniversary offering. You're doing this because you want the blessing of the Lord to follow you to your house.

Flawed logic, misinterpretation, or another secret Bible truth I just never knew but now that I know I have to follow forever and instruct others to follow forever so that all of our houses can be blessed?

Less than 10 minutes later, it is time to collect tithes and offering.

Apparently, I am visiting this church during the celebration of this Pastor's anniversary. I will give. I love Pastors.

But I didn't participate in the "dough in hand" offering. Oh no, I hope I am doing everything right....

So many offerings.

Someday J.D., someone will wake up and realize that all born again Christians are EQUAL in the eyes of God....... "When you have done it unto the LEAST of these....you have done it unto Me."

Being involed in helping the "least" of the body will get the Lords' attention the most!

Now we're going through a list of all the departments in the church and how much they have contributed to the Pastor's special anniversary offering.

There are also individuals being recognized for their giving, with the amount they gave announced for all to know.

Small church with BIG cash flowing to the Pastor.

You really can't give a Pastor enough money, but these sincere people are really, really giving.

Several nice gifts presented to Pastor's wife, along with more cash.

The people on my row smell like weed-- and have been smelling like weed since I got here.

I am bored.

More cash, apart from the other departments-- the pastoral care department just gave $250.00 more!

Without meaning to be prejudiced, these people don't look like they have all this money to be giving like this. Don't look particularly financially blessed, don't have fine cars in the small parking lot of this small church-- but they are obviously blessed in their giving of so much money.

Much cash for the Pastor.
Many gifts for his wife.
