There she was in her tattered jeans, peasant shirt, and knee-length braided hair, along with several 50-70 year olds with white hair, church dresses, and an assortment of minks. After a time of Judas-like criticism ("This could have been sold and given to the poor!"), God convicted her with the remark, "How many millionaires are you going to save dressed like that! I have placed them where they are to save those I have called, and I have placed you where you are so save those I have called where you are. Do not judge MY sheep!" We need to be working for the kingdom where God has placed us, and stop looking at other churches, or individuals so critically, save for the sin issue.Laura's momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-86506973358067601712007-05-17T09:46:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:46:00.000-04:00I forgot to mention this to you last night when we...I forgot to mention this to you last night when we were discussing Sam Storms, but Matt Chandler was my college pastor in Abilene. It's so crazy to see how he's becoming more and more recognized. His wife and I both sang at different times on the worship team, and you can hear some of her music on myspace.GloryandGracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11700428736344317474noreply@blogger.com
