    What are you mad at God over

One who is ready to put him first in all things. One who will sacrifice everything and eaven their own life so you can be joined with...

    So, you can employ the reputations of the rich against the sponsors and be enriched by their donations, or you can minister to others and allow sponsors to arise organically, being selective about whose sponsorship you would even accept, but you cant do both. This is how a pastor can transition...

    How non believers may view Christian's.

    I apologize thats not my intention. Eaven still for it to be a church it can't just say bible. It needs a confession of faith or creed.
