| Interesting article, Grant. Definitely one-sided, but I share the perspective. God can and does work miracles as He chooses, but such "ministries" as this one are dripping in red flags! |

| I don't seem to recall Peter being driven around in a chariot or Paul being put up at the most expensive inns. In fact I think it was quite a bit different. And, even if the entire prosperity doctrine is true, I think Jesus already addressed the condition: "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep." (Luke 6:24-25 ) |

I agree with the perspective. If Jesus our Lord had intended his preachers of his grace to live the high life he would have lead by example. But when he says things like this:
Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Luke 9:58
I strongly suspect a life of luxuries was not what he was on about. |

Loren: yes, was it Winston Churchill who once said that occasionally people stumble across truth and quickly pick themselves up, dust themselves off and hurry on as if nothing happened. I think that's also true of Christians stuck in a rut of counterfeit teachings.
Kathy: yes, one-sided, but I tend to agree with you on the issue.
Gene: hmmm, you mean Jesus didn't drink from a golden chalice?
Marty: you mean ministers of the Gospel are to be beggars? I know you don't, but the other extreme is too often what congregations expect. |
