I flew into Chicago tonight, I am singing on a choir CD that Donald Lawerence is producing tomorrow night.
I get into the car and realized its not the SUV or car this church usually picks me up in.
Its usually a black suburban. This was a black brand new Cadillac.
I said to the driver " This is a very nice car does this belong to the church?"
He said "yes". I said " When did they get it?" He said" just here recently".
Just as he said that I look up and saw ENTERPRISE RENTAL on the key
chain.
I don't want to sound disrespectful. But I'm wondering what difference does it make whether the car belongs to the church or not? I'm not ok with lying, but sometimes I wonder why it is that we all have this need to impress each other with what we have (which would be the reason he might have lied to you, I'm thinking?)
At our Bible study last night we were discussing the night that the rich kid came to Jesus and asked what he needed to do to be saved. Jesus told him to sell all he had and give it to the needy and then come follow him, but the man went away sad. I wonder if how many of us Christians are very much like that young man, even if we don't want to admit it. Not only do want to impress others with what we have, but we also want to be impressed by what others have.
I think we have a tendency to measure the worth of other people by their possessions instead of measuring their worth by God's yardstick.
Pentecostal divorce ... is when married saints don't co-habitate for long periods of time (separated).
We had one couple, both involved in ministry in their respective churches, who for over 20 plus years (maybe longer) ... lived in seperate regions of the United States.
Also, a lot men, usually, who emigrated from Latin America in our Spanish churches .... would come, work, send money to their families ... but never would send for them ... or the wife ... sometimes for years ... and sometimes never.
We would say among ourselves that they had a "Pentecostal divorce".

Not to worry. Enterprise sells their cars when they hit 40,000 miles.
So they may not have changed the keychain the keys attached to....

If the driver was anything like me, he probably never noticed the keychain and just did what he was told... pick up that there singer gal from the airport! lol... (but most guys notice things when it comes to vehicles!)
