The economy is affecting most church's giving. Perhaps your budget has been cut. Don't fret. I am reminded of the story of the talents in Matthew 25. Be faithful to use the talents God provides and watch Him bring forth fruit. Sometimes He provides 1 talent...sometimes 5 talents...sometimes 10 talents. All He asks is that we work with what He gives us.
Focus on using what He has provided for your ministry instead of complaining about what you don't have. It's not the amount of talents that you've been given...it's what you do with what you have been given...that's what matters to God.
