As a pastor, you get some pretty crazy requests. Of course the scammers are always looking for an angle to take advantage of the kindness of others, specifically the church. You have those who are looking, not for a solution to a problem, but for you to take away the consequences. These are only a couple of the categories of people who are found among the churches and who we minister to on occasion. I am not suggesting that some are legitimate and in need of someone to come along and lift them up and help them to remember they have value and we all face difficulties. But did you know that scripture does mention boundaries with people? I heard a sermon that Billy Graham delivered that addresses this very thing. In fact I can say this is the only sermon I have ever heard on this subject. I'm just going to let you listen to it for yourself, no words of mine needed. Till next time. P.M.
