Why don't wealthy suburban churches build in the inner city? The truly hurting and needy people are primarily found in the inner cities?
How much time does your church spend helping those less fortunate? Do you ever leave your compound in the suburbs to help the needy?
Matthew 25: 37-40
37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
I ask this because I see inner-city churches closing their doors for lack of funds. I see homeless people wandering the streets of the inner city. But, I see Prestonwood Baptist in Plano, TX, ( a Dallas suburb)spend $200,000.00 per month on utilities....
Your thoughts?
