Banks vs the Blood of Jesus
Ah, a bank is standing ready to offer a loan ... sounds like how the Israelite's ended up in Egypt for years.
You can donate through them ...
You can borrow from them ...
You can repay them ... later, and again.
Notice the endnotes: You will still have to pay interest!!
You may lose all your blessings at any time, at the bank's discretion. How kind!
Is it not good that the cross of Christ is not so whimsical or unreliable? Is it not good that we can daily draw on the store of credit established through the blood of Jesus? Indeed, his life sustains us!! You say, I'm too bad, too evil. Good news folks!! Jesus welcomes both bad & good to the banquet! Rejoice & fear not! While there may be many in the Salvation Army who really are not acquainted with the good news, the Lord's Army daily does His will in proclaiming His glory! What love, what mercy!!
Peace,
Mert

Dear customer:
As one of the largest banks on the Gulf Coast and in Louisiana, Regions
is grateful for the opportunity to work with our customers and
associates to rebuild our communities in the devastating aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina and now, also in the wake of Hurricane Rita. We wanted
to update you on what we are doing to assist our customers and
associates in the affected areas during these difficult times.
- Regions Bank branches are accepting donations for disaster relief
for the American Red Cross and Salvation Army.
- We are matching contributions to the Regions Associate Assistance
Fund dollar-for-dollar. To date, the fund has provided more than
$230,000 in assistance for our own associates who were displaced
from the storm. We are also working to relocate those associates
and provide them jobs in our many branches that we have reopened
since the storm, or, of course, that were not impacted at all.
- In addition, Regions is offering a variety of financial resources
to assist customers, including:
-- Loan Payment Deferral -- Payment deferral on personal
installment loans and lines of credit and Right Business Line
of Credit. (Call 1-866-453-9892 to make arrangements.)
-- Discounted Rates -- Discount rate on new direct consumer
installment loans and home equity loans.* (Call Loans by
Phone, 1-800-588-1267.)
-- Mortgage Payment Deferral -- Payment deferral assistance for
Regions Mortgage loans (in hurricane affected areas).
(Call 1-800-986-2462 to make arrangements.)
-- Credit Cards -- Credit card line increases and payment
deferment.** (Call 1-800-362-6299, or 1-800-892-3219 if you
are a business credit card customer.)
-- Waived Fees -- Fees waived for retail customers on incoming
and outgoing wire transfers.* (International wire transfers
not
included.)
-- Line Increases -- Consumer line of credit and home equity
line increases.* (Call Loans by Phone 1-800-588-1267.)
Banks play a critical role in peoples' lives after a disaster, and even
though Regions did have to deal with some serious problems from
Hurricane Katrina in certain markets, we have been and will continue to
be there to make sure both our customers and others have access to their
cash and credit. Over the course of these disasters, we kept our
automatic teller machines in operation for as long as possible,
sometimes with generator power; immediately reopened as many branches as
we could when the storms had passed; and deployed our mobile ATM
capacity across the impacted areas for use by both customers and
non-customers, waiving foreign ATM fees for all.
And, in other parts of our 16-state footprint, Regions associates held
fundraisers for the Red Cross and Salvation Army, donating time, money
and clothing to these worthy charities, once again demonstrating their
commitment to our values of respect for all individuals and to -- as
always -- doing the right thing.
If you have questions about how Regions can help, please call us at
1-800-REGIONS or visit our Web site at www.regions.com . We want our
customers and associates to know that we are confident that they, we and
our communities will rebound from these natural disasters -- and that
all will be stronger than before -- especially our relationships.
Together, we will rebuild, with confidence.
Every day.
Sincerely,
Jack Moore
President and Chief Executive Officer
