The church has some structures like a government. Mennonite churches in Canada and the United States serve through bureaucratic-like institutions. An effective church institution without a budget is inconceivable. No budget, no power. For others, the chief joy is the service rendered, not the money received.
Some volunteers gladly do their jobs with no pay and no perks.
A few are so eager to serve that they pay for the privilege. Peter and John took no silver or gold with them when they entered the temple to pray. To everyone s amazement, the penniless apostles had the power to heal a lame man in the name of Jesus. The healed man went into the temple walking and leaping and praising God.
