Accommodating the Lie for Two-Kingdom Donors,
By John W. Pearson "John Pearson Associates" (San Clemente, CA, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Seven Deadly Sins of Christian Fundraising (Paperback)
Whoa! R. Scott Rodin, former president of the Christian Stewardship Association, has written a short, but powerful book that turns Christian fundraising upside down. Don't make another donor presentation until you read The 7 Deadly Sins of Christian Fundraising.
Rodin's compelling message (just 59 pages) argues that the devoted follower of Christ must move from being a "Two-Kingdom" person (loyalties split between God and the world) to a "One-Kingdom" person. God owns it all; I'm just his money manager, as Randy Alcorn teaches in his book, The Treasure Principle: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving (LifeChange Books). Scott writes, "The Christian development office and the local church too often help accommodate this false two-kingdom view. We do it by allowing people to live in this two-kingdom world and never challenging it as unbiblical and soul-destroying. Even worse, we too often develop stewardship programs that operate on these same two-kingdom principles, which means we are not only passively accommodating this distorted view but we are actually supporting it." At your next staff meeting, try this: "On our flipchart today is a list of our fundraising programs and events. Put a checkmark only by the programs that are driven by God-honoring biblical stewardship principles." Scott Rodin suggests that fundraising campaigns have two thermometers. The first one is obvious, but the second one would show how many people "acknowledged that they became more committed in their walk with Jesus Christ" as a result of the campaign. Wow. What do you think about that?
