I noticed that Jason Crabb & Natalie Grant will be ministering this weekend. I need to get away and enjoy ministry and worship also. I was looking forward to possibly taking time from my busy schedule to travel a few hours away to a ministry event. You know, stay at an Airbnb and enjoy life again in the realm of ministry. That idea goes out the window since they decided to have this event via the internet. I am not interested in this type of venue anymore per say. Enough is enough with this now. I get social distancing, I get even though I do not like wearing a mask possibly having to wear a mask. I long for in-person worship/praise not over the internet praise/worship. Who is going to get out there and start live, in-person ministry events? Just step out on the edge and do not cower back and retreat.
I think I am going to try to go to this event. I can find a place there where I am far enough away from the crowd so as to be able to breathe freely and not with a mask. These masks are awful, they really are. God did not create us to live with masks on our faces all day long. He created us to breathe freely through our unrestricted nasal passages. Not cover them up and have to be frustrated with not being able to breathe like He created us to breathe.
A word of wisdom to ministries that are beginning to host live events. God is watching you to make sure you are not gouging His people with costly event charging. Meaning, charging higher fees to recoup money that the ministry may have lost in the last few months. If you charged lets say nothing and a free will offering was taken up to bless the minister. Now charging lets say 30.00. Or what about if you may have charged 20.00 and now maybe charging 30.00 now what is that all about? Remember God is keeping a watchful eye upon ministries to see that they are not taking advantage of and gouging His people.
Another thought, why is a single person charged an event price at a higher rate then couples. That is not quite right. If you are charging a fee then charge it across the board. Think of it like this. A single person may have one income and a married couple just may have 2 incomes so can they not afford two tickets a lot easier then the single person with one income? Just a thought on common sense. What do you think?
