I live in NE ARK and our church is a full city block. Denomination is Methodist. Pastor and wife are clients at my vet clinic and I don't charge them much if anything. They are both very humble and appreciative of everything we do for them. Our church does a ton of charity work in our town. Then you have the for profit TV preachers ( Joel Olsen , Benny Hinn , etc) that I loathe!! Don't see anywhere in the bible where prosperity preachers are talked about. Have enjoyed this thread very much. Tell my boys to watch how ppl treat waiters and you see what kinda person they are. God fuels me everyday and hope it stays that way
