Money And The Small Church: 3 Reasons We Must Talk About It (New Series)

Many people have a love/hate relationship with money. Including me. I don’t like thinking about it, talking about it, teaching on it or worrying about it. But do you know what I really hate about money? When I don’t have enough of it. How’s that for one of life’s crazy little ironies? Money may be the only thing in my life that I both dislike intensely, but I want more of. Love/hate. Not having enough money is a huge problem in life and in ministry. Yet it’s just the way things are – especially in a small church. But helping those who are in even greater need than we are is one of the primary callings of the church of any size. Which makes this one of the challenges every small church has in common: how do we do more ministry with so little money? Because of my intense dislike of money, I have written very little about it, but it’s one of the subjects I am asked about most often. So, despite my misgivings – or maybe because of them – today is the first of several blog posts on the subject of Money And The Church in the next few weeks and beyond.
