Today, some thieves broke into my church and stole our cameras, monitors, and some other hardware. We were planning to use them for the security system we were about to install. FML

I can't speak for the finances of every church, but at my church we are not flush with cash in the way a mega church might be. We are called to be stewards of the property God had given us and to this end, we asked people to dig deep that we could fill the need that was evident. Sadly, after the sacrifices that were made, we can't help but be hurt. Still, Christians are versed in hardship and overcoming adversity. We will pray for the thief, ask healing for the church, and seek blessings to continue to meet the needs of the community.

you've gotta be pretty low to steal from a church.

Maybe, or it was to make a point. I don't want to start an argument, but a lot of people think churches in general are thieves.

That's pretty pathetic that someone would steal from a church.

They can use those monitors to watch themselves go straight to hell

Happened at my church a few years ago. It was someone who was the 18 year old child of a member and they stole their rents key to the church and took a lot of things like that and money and instruments. Hope you find the culprit!

Something like that happened at my old church. We knew it was an inside job but couldn't figure out who it was. But after we took up the offering, before the service was over it was discovered that someone stole all the cash that was in the offering that morning. We prayed for the person though. I don't remember if they ever turned themselves in or anything but we changed the method of where the money went after that and didn't have any more instances like that.

How much of a disgrace do you have to be to steal from a church. Doesn't matter what religion it is. That is a place sacred to some people that teaches them to do good. So you steal from them?

Good, you mean like racism, sexism, homophobia, preaching that you should be judgemental and unquestioning loyalty? The Bible says you should stone disobedient children to death, that's not exactly teaching people to do good. A building sacred to followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't deserve special treatment, nor does a church.

well, Lomus, this may not convince you, but let me say that the bible may actually say that, but it kinda took it back. Some People just dont care about that...
