Does the Lord have your pocketbook?
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist

Let me pose a question to you about your church? Is it a “law church” or a “grace church?” A “law church” would be one that majors on keeping all the laws both of the Old Testament and New Testament with a heavy judgment for not keeping the laws. Right standing with God is constantly in jeopardy on the basis of how well you are keeping the laws. To make sure what I am talking about, let me include laws related to staying current on attendance, giving, making confession, and even taking Holy Communion. The “law church” says, in effect, you must stay up-to-date on the laws of the Bible and the church or you are in jeopardy. Your eternal soul stands in limbo.
