What is the definition of a church?

Accepting Help

So today we helped with freshman move-in on campus (UNCC). This is my 4th year helping with freshman move-in. Well here's what I've observed...

Sometimes you'll walk up to a car and ask if you can help and people will respond with a "No thanks...we'll get it."

Why do people refuse help?

Why do people find it so hard to accept things for free?

Do you find it difficult accepting someone's help when they offer?

Do you find it difficult to accept things for free?

Question for churches

I think the number one complaint I hear about churches is the amount of money they spend.

High salaries, $40million dollar buildings, top of the line light shows, and $20,000 sound boards.

So, I have two questions for the church and then a question for your average reader...

Dear church,

Do you really need to spend that much on a building?

Is this really what Jesus told you to do?

Dear average reader (maybe a person who is skeptical of the church),

How much is too much in your opinion?
