"As any had need"

A friend of mine realized that she only had one friend who went to
church. As someone who cares deeply about the church, she wondered why
it was. And so she began to ask them, “Why don’t you go to church?”

The answers startled her. It wasn’t what she was expecting at all.
The number one answer that she received was, “I can’t afford it.”

Another young women echoed another sentiment to me recently. She
said, “I was like most people in their twenties. Even though I loved
church, the budget always seemed to be going to their dilapidated
building or mission work that I didn’t care about.”
