Nozz, I have no idea what your latest comment says and dont care enough to read, but here's the thing. This is like Pay It Forward, something you do or not because it's in your heart. If you arent going to do it, and havent any interest, why even post?
That's troll-like behavior. This would be like if you wanted to build a shopping mall, and I lived in another state with no likelihood of ever visiting, and all I did was tear down your idea. Nothing to do with me in the example, and I would be being disruptive.
Jesus shops Costco because employees are paid a living wage.

He might also shop at Aldi for food to feed the hungry.

Donate to habitat for humanity to build homes for the homeless.

Support doctors without boarders to heal the sick.

Jesus would drive a Volkswagen Van and deliver meals on wheels to seniors.

Jesus would be a hacker and transfer the billions of dollars from private wealth into the accounts of non-profits that serve the marginalized.

Jesus wouldn't shop, He would grow His own food, have a farm and harvest hemp for building materials...

"She"? I thought you said a pastor said this in a sermon?

In any event, my family tends to go very light on gifts. We usually spend very little on Christmas gifts for our kids or ourselves. It's just how we are--we don't tend to live extravagantly. And Christmas is not about the gifts, or Santa.

Ha-ha!

The self-proclaimed pastor thinks he made a funny.

But all he did was reveal - yet again - what a spiritual bleep thinks.

Those women pastors could read his posts and think, "He's a pastor? Really?" I know I do.
