Bible Question: Where in the Bible is instructions given about how finances should be handled--I seem to remember something about the pastor "not concerning himself" with the finances, but appointing someone to handle these |
Bible Answer: In Acts, it says "The Twelve summoned the whole company of the disciples and said, “It would not be right for us to give up preaching about God to handle financial matters. Therefore, brothers, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we can appoint to this duty. But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the preaching ministry.” |
