Last week, as I was trying to dig through the computer for my username and password for eBay I realized that I spend more time and energy trying to protect myself today than ever before… locks, alarms, usernames, passwords, pin numbers, codes, security questions, security answers…the list goes on and on.
It may come as a surprise that in this increasingly security conscious society we all religiously lock our doors and set the car alarms but are unwittingly allowing a more understated criminal into our churches every day…the fraudster.
We invest a lot of time, energy and resources protecting ourselves, our families and possessions but what about the house of God?
“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock…So be on your guard…” – Acts 20:28-31 – NIV.
