This topic has always interested me...are Christians who have money out of the will of God? Personally, I don't think so. The Bible never says that money is evil...rather that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Diva_56, I read the article and it concerned me because I have listened to just about every preacher that the author critised (sp?) like Joyce Meyer, etc. (I don't know much about the guy who says he went to heaven though, but nobody took Elijah, John the Baptist or Jeremiah's visions seriously until recently either...just something to think about) and have truly been blessed by their ministry. Know I agree w/ NUPE4LIFE, I don't feel comfortable with the Pastor "bling-blinging", but I definitely do not believe that when I accept Christ, I also accept an impoverished life style. I guess the key is "all things in moderation"...but who am I to judge what that is for someone else? In the article it said something like "Paul said "Silver and Gold have I none...". Well was that a proclamation of mortal poverty, or did he just not have any change? Not trying to be funny
, but when I walk down the street, and someone asks me for money, I usually tell them I don't have any. At that time I may not have any, but I'm not implying that I am poor...
I've heard of Creflo and Taffi, what are they about? Sorry for the long post, but this was a really good topic!
