Thanks to reader J.C. (No, another one) for directing me to an MSNBC story about the Baptist Church in Vermont that has decided to sell an historic part of itself to keep funding operations, including a homeless mission. These are tough times all over, but my prediction is that a donation will appear to cover the needed funding...allowing the church to stop the sale.
Far be it from Rev. Tim to preach, but as I recall, that other J.C. didn't build church one. And the only dealing he had with bankers and the lot was to toss 'em out.
Amen.
You're right, Rev. Tim. The beginning of the Church took place at Pentecost, fifty days after Easter and ten days after the Ascension. The story is in the second chapter of the Book of Acts.
