It was told to me by a church member years ago and I want to hear your opinion,,A Preacher has been trying to raise money for his new building however everytime he get the money someone in church has a more important emergency need,,a woman came to him Privately and said 'Pastor I know that you have been trying to raise this money and things come up and you take from the building fund to help,,you and your wife has been there for me in time of need for my family so ,,I won $5million dollars and I know that you have to preach in 20 minutes but here is $2.5million you and your wife keep a million and use the rest for the building',,The pastor said put the money up,,so the woman put all the money back into a large suit case type of bag,,the Pastor hit the pul pit and said THE DEVIL CAME TO ME WITH SOME LOTTERY MONEY TO BUILD THE CHURCH ,,WE DONT NEED THE DEVILS MONEY,and then called the womans name out in front of a crowd of 800 and she began crying and left..Now I understand and I dont Understand..the wealth of the sinner is layed up for the just did he do the right thing?I feel this way as a Elder we dont know where the money is comming from,,when you go to a restaurant you dont know if the chef washed his hands after leaving the rest room, but we pray over our food,,same thing we dont know where the members are getting there money if we did would we accept it? alot of money may be dope money,hooker money,pimp money,race track money,blood money..ect.. but we pray over it after it has been collected..I heard Joel Ostien say this,,I am not telling you to play the lottery,,,but I am saying if you hit pay your tithes and offerings..Maybe she should've been silent and put a check in the basket or perhaps she was not trying to hide anything because many christians play the lottery,,my thing is she was trying to give back,,but did she do it the wrong way?
