When will the Tithe of Tithe begin to be used as prescribed in the General Assembly Minutes?

The new executive committee has been in office now for 90 days. It appears there has been no movement to start using the moneys for Evangelism and Home missions as prescribed in the minutes of the General Assembly. Is this maleficence in office when the do not obey the by laws and administer the EHM moneys to the support of evangelism, new churches and helping old churches who are having financial problems.
I join with other of my fellow Church of God Bishops in calling on the Executive Committee to change this practice and adhere to the minutes.

What is the Price of Freedom

While I disagree with how the election of the president turned out the truth is we all will have a new president come January 20, 2009. It is going to be interesting to see all the back peddling and excuses he will give when he cannot put a check in everybodies hand and make all their hurts go away. In his speech of acceptance when he stated that it might not happen in a first term and that there would be cause for a lot of sacrifice the whole temperment of the audience changed.
The truth is that he will never accomplish half that he has promised. While it is true that the economy is in a mess we as christians are not bound by the economy of the United States. Our income and success depends on Christ and our service to Him.
I will be praying for Barak Obama that God will bless him with great knowledge and the real ability to do a lot that he has said he will do.
