“Engaging Culture: Church and Money” by Pastor Frederick K. Price delves into the intersection of faith, community, and financial stewardship. Let’s distill the key points from your provided text:
  1. Commission to Seek and Save: The church, as the body of Christ, is entrusted with the mission to seek and save the lost. This echoes the biblical mandate in 2 Corinthians 5:20.
  2. Drawing the World to the Gospel: Just as sinners were drawn to Jesus during His earthly ministry, the church should radiate the light of the Gospel. We are called to be a beacon that attracts others to the truth.
  3. Fellowship and Separation: While engaging with the world, believers must maintain a balance. We should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, yet we are called to care for both brethren and those outside the Body of Christ.
  4. Authority, Demonstration, and Power: The Gospel is not merely words; it is accompanied by authority, demonstration, and power. As ambassadors of Christ, we carry this transformative message to the world.
  5. Early Church Practices: The early church exemplified communal living. They sold possessions to ensure that no one suffered lack, emphasizing the importance of meeting each other’s needs.
  6. Alms and Offerings: The church collected alms and offerings to support widows, the poor, and ministry gifts. This practice reflects biblical principles found in Acts 11:27-30 and 2 Corinthians 16:1-4.
  7. Cheerful Giving: Rather than giving out of fear, believers are encouraged to give cheerfully according to their means. This aligns with 2 Corinthians 8:8-12.
