True story.... family joined our church and was in my Sunday School class. Destitute poor. Lots of problems, like a common gene pool or something. They had moved from California to Oklahoma. Our class gave them food and stuff to help. The guy finally got a job and they didn’t have transportation, so several of us chipped in and bought them a used car. Like a $3k used car, and a years worth of insurance. They come to church about 3 weeks later and said they had traded the car in on a new one. Everyone stared at each other. In about 4 months they lost the new one because they couldn’t make the payments and he was asking for prayer because he was walking to work again. There is no fix for what ails most of our country.
Wow. Did anyone give him a good lecture about what he did? This is one thing about church that sometimes bothers me - nobody is ever accountable when they ask for and/or receive help.
I’ve seen several women get help with hydro bills, rent, etc., yet nobody asks them what they are doing with their money. They have those stupid plastic painted up nails, they are often in restaurants having dinner, or in the mall picking up something new, yet they receive help without questions. I don’t think it’s supposed to be this way.
