The Pastor said, "If any of you have a financial need this morning, feel free to take from the collection plate". I think I heard everyone in the room cringe, including myself. This would mean that the first giver would get nothing and the last giver could get it all. As it was passed around I saw only one person take from the plate.
LD Sowder is gone now, but he probably put on one of the best demonstrations of "pride" done in a church thirty years ago! It called for the whole Church to trust God with their money. In Acts 4:34 it says, "There was not a needy person among them, for qas many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and rlaid it at the apostles’ feet, andsit was distributed to each as any had need".
