Lose your Job, Get Your Offering Back – Church Marketing Sucks
Generous News has the story of one church who is making a guarantee: If you lose your job, we’ll give your offering back. It’s reminiscent of the Hyundai Assurance, if you’ve seen those commercials. They say, “Buy a car, lose your job, return your car for a full refund.”

A true friend, according to Proverbs, is one who loves at all times. Not some of the time, or only when he/she wants to or is comfortable with the friendship.
