]]> Comment on “The Church Always Asks For Money.” by Jen http://marcestes.com/2010/11/15/the-church-always-asks-for-money/comment-page-1/#comment-973 Jen Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:14:13 +0000 http://marcestes.com/?p=1452#comment-973 Hi there, I have been interested in joining a church where I live. When I expressed this interest, I received a package of requirements in the mail, including a guideline to how much I need to give to be in good standing with the church. I am a generous person by nature and understand that a church needs funds to run, expand, and help the community. I am by no means unwilling to give what I can afford. The problem is, I cannot afford what the church is asking for. I am the first person in my family to go to college and had to finance everything myself. A big portion of my income goes to students loans. Also, I am a single parent who has to provide shelter and essentials to my daughter and myself. I make roughly $40,000 per year. If I give the church the $300-$350 (10% of my earnings) that they think I should pay, I couldn't cover my bills, expenses, etc. For this reason, I have basically stopped going to church. I only go on special occasions. Can someone give me feedback on my situation. I am a Christian who wants to have membership in a church; however, I feel that I cannot afford this membership.

]]> Comment on A Fight over the Nativity Scene – Proud of Elwood City Residents! by Pastor Cynthia Antinossi http://marcestes.com/2011/12/02/a-fight-over-the-nativity-scene-proud-of-elwood-city-residents/comment-page-1/#comment-938 Pastor Cynthia Antinossi Mon, 05 Dec 2011 20:02:52 +0000 http://marcestes.com/?p=1605#comment-938 Thank you Marc for posting this blog. I have been involved from the beginning with prayer and support of the Nativity. There are a lot of lies at worst and distortions at best, but the truth is that Ellwood City residents came together to see that the Nativity Scene was put up and that it was within the law of the land. Nuff said! I wish everyone who may receive it a Merry Christmas. Thank you Marc for posting this blog. I have been involved from the beginning with prayer and support of the Nativity.

]]> Comment on When Has Sex Gone Too Far? by Steve Dyson http://marcestes.com/2011/11/29/when-has-sex-gone-too-far/comment-page-1/#comment-931 Steve Dyson Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:21:16 +0000 http://marcestes.com/?p=1602#comment-931 Doing what is right and just has never been out of style. When one stands up for what is moral is tends to draw others who are in agreement and brings them out of silence. The obvious problem in our country is a lack of moral base in our population. Thank God for this group of Yale students that see the need for a return to morality and chastity. This movement needs to spread to all colleges, universities and high schools. Yes, even our high school students are too interested in their sexuality. Let's mount a charge and don't back down. Doing what is right and just has never been out of style.
