A few weeks ago I was in the locker room after working out. I started to get in the shower when I heard a couple of guys talking. The conversation was about a member of their church who had stopped attending their services. Apparently one of the guys saw one of the family members out in public and he struck up a conversation with her. He asked why he has not seen them at church in a while and she responded saying that they started a home church. The guy talking made it clear that he really did not believe her and did not approve if she was telling the truth. After all even if they had started a home church, “how many missionaries are they supporting?”
I obviously do not remember it word for word – but even if I made the whole thing up (which I did not), what do you all think about this conversation? Especially the quote.
Is the number of missionaries you support a legitimate concern? Is it a biblical concern?
