Right before Christmas we had a guest speaker at our church that I get that "money hungry" vibe from...yet he is a really good speaker so folks love him. He gets the crowd "hype" so to speak.
On this particular Sunday I was extra sad because the move of God was obvious...our children were pleading on the alter (10 and below) and I was cry out to God so deeply for thier souls. What an awesome time for these babies to recieve the best gift ever for Christmas.
In all that....the speaker grabbed a hold to the "excited emotions" in the room and asked for a $500 offering. I was sad. Instead of calling on the elders/parents to come and work with the children, he asked for money.
On the up side I know of one teen that recieved the Holy Ghost that day. But imagine what it would have been like if the attention was turned to the souls on the altar, and not the money in my checking account.

He asked for a $500 offering for his own pocket?
