“Hold on! There are rich oppressors in the Church?” There are many well to do folks in the Church and among them are those who use their money to leverage their influence. That is oppression. “Well that certainly does not apply to me,” you may be saying, “I am certainly not rich.” Think again. There are those of us who may not be wealthy financially, but we may be quite rich in talents, time, and influence. The Lord has given us these for a reason. If we are not using them to bring others to Christ, then we bring oppression on those who carry the heavy burdens in ministry. Let’s find out how we can use our “wealth” in the church to bring others to Christ.
