Chris.
The Lord was accusing the Elders of His Old Testament People of
plundering the people’s vineyards. Most Churches are full of redeemed and
sanctified people. People that live in the Grace of God. Many of these people
are poor, pure, humble and simple, they want to obey God. Sometimes the Church
makes a mistake in putting heavy financial burdens on the people, especially
very cost consuming burdens like buying land and building new buildings. The
ordinary and regular worshippers want to be Faithful to the Lord and the
Church, but sometimes it is just too much and big debts are incurred. In
matters of finance especially, Church Leaders need to be very careful.
