Book Description

Excerpt from Minutes of the Thirty-Ninth Annual Session of the Liberty Baptist Association: Held With the Church at Holloways, Davidson Co., N. C., August 22, 23 and 24, 1872 Dear brethren - The subject of ministerial support is One of great importance, and should claim the attention of every christian. The minister of God is often called upon to give much of his time to the work without just remuneration. Your committee believes it to be the indispensable duty of the churches to give more earnest heed to this important subject. The apostle tells us that they which preach the gospel, should live of the Then let us become thoroughly aroused to a sense of our duty, and let us no more be found asleep. It is believed that there are many members of our churches who never think of contributing to their pastor; this should not be; we believe that every member, blessed with health, could do something in this direction. We think a great number of christians spend enough annually, in a foolish and improvident manner, to handsomely redeem the time of their pastor. Then let most of us become more economical, and lay up in store for the support of the gospel. Finally brethren, let us do our whole duty as we have light to do so, and pray God to give us hearts willing to give; hoping that the Lord may prosper Zion and add many precious souls to the church, such as should be saved.
