I came across this very unique thought about church. Be blessed, and reminded of some important truths:

We have discovered a way for our church to function without money. Will you cooperate?

Each member will come to church during the week with a broom and mop to keep the building presentable. Then a paid janitor will not be necessary.

Each member will take his or her turn playing an instrument and singing and directing worship. No music director will be needed. 

Each member will bring materials and tools to repair and maintain the building. Here we can really save money.

Each one must agree to spend at least one year as a missionary at his or her own expense on some foreign field. This will dispense with missionary offerings.

Each member will go to school for the required years and fulfill all the qualifications to become a pastor. Then he will take his turn preaching, teaching, leading the service, conducting funerals, performing marriages, counseling, calling on members, visiting the sick, and guiding the administration of the church. This will save the expense of a pastor.

Each member will spend some time working in the church office and will bring paper, ink cartridges, envelopes, stamps, and all other office supplies. 

Each member will pay the rent, insurance and utility bills one week per year.

Isn’t this a great idea? Would you really want it this way? If not, tithe faithfully as God has commanded, giving God ten percent of your income, and the church can operate in the scriptural manner.

Remember, YOU are the one who uses the heat, light, and water. YOU are the one who calls on the pastor when you are in need. YOU are the one who enjoys the clean church. YOU are the one who enjoys the music and worship. Your missionaries go for God and for YOU!

Get it?
