The Real Sickness At The Heart Of American Culture



The Real Sickness At The Heart Of American Culture - John Hawkins - Page full

People don't like to talk about America's culture for the same reason
that a man who just had a heart attack doesn't want to discuss the
double bacon cheeseburger he's eating.

The Cross

I look at the cross upon Calvary,
And O what a wonder divine!
To think of the wealth it holds for me—
The riches of heaven are mine.

Sadly, this is the America that we are becoming.


Zechariah 2:8 "For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye."

The Agape Box

2 Kings 12:9 "But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the Lord: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the Lord."

First time in Scripture I've ever actually seen an example of an offering box. Of course, many churches today do not take up offerings, but use boxes like this. I guess it could be said that it is biblical. However, I still do not have a problem with offering plates being passed. Actually, I've come to prefer them. Not casting judgment, just preference.
