The Importance of a Church's Budget

Pastors don't understand the connection between church health and a budget that proceeds out of scripture, he says. What kind of building are you going to construct? Are you going to fund programs that allow the congregation to separate into niche interest groups or bring them together? You can't separate philosophy of ministry from what's in the budget; God doesn't need our money,. Again, he's not after a handout. He's after our hearts.
