Emphasis Preaching Journal

Beware you church treasures! In the first church I served after my ordination, someone saw the church treasurer taking out some of the cash lying on the top of the offering plates and shoving it in his pocket. It was not that he was broke. He owned a laundry business. He was our Judas. How many, even elected officials, have been tempted by the large amounts of money that pass through their hands? Some may have been thinking of all the better uses that money could have been used for.
