Bob Russell: Preaching and Money

In a recent article, Bob Russell says, "For years I boasted to our congregation that I only preached on stewardship once annually. "It's easy to understand why we tiptoe around the subject of stewardship. Money is still a god to many church members, and many visitors are skeptical of the church's motives. Certain spiritual con men have fleeced their congregations and given preachers a bad name, and we don't want to be identified with them."
