PayPal for My Pal

January 23, 2007

Last week I shared about Steve McCoy’s need of new transportation. People are beginning to respond to his need with small but meaningful gifts.

I was talking on the phone with a friend yesterday about balancing the desire to be in the world without being of it. Part of the discussion centered around a particular church and their habit of meeting in a night club for worship. In our conversation the text of 2 Cor. 6:14-18 was brought up [...]
