I recently got a personal thank-you email from Craig Gross of XXXChurch due to my accidental suspension of monthly donations to the organization. Those are back up now, but I have to admit now I took some ungodly pride in doing so.
In short, the organization is moving to Las Vegas and is going to need a boatload of money in order to support the operation, in the total three-year sum of THREE MILLION DOLLARS.
Hence my pride comes tumbling down. I make a great salary, so when I see the donation numbers accumulating with the monthly donations, I would get a sort of rush as if I was really doing a good thing. Then again, even if I gave all of it and completely disregarded food and clothing, it would pale to what’s needed here.
Chew on that the next time you think you’re good enough not to need the Cross. We’re all even more inadequate than any financial resources we could put into an operation such as this one.
Next post is on a related topic, namely the need for ministry as observed in Pattaya, Thailand.
