In the face of a Senate inquiry into questionable financial activities in a number of nationally known ministries, one of those being investigated (Creflo Dollar) had this to say: "Without a doubt, my life is not average. But I'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong."
That may be the most ignorant, the stupidest, most assinine, and blatantly unscriptural statement I've ever heard by anyone concerning anything. Yet thousands of people sit and listen to this fool preach this garbage every week, and millions more watch him on television and send him their money. This crap flies in the face of everything the Bible teaches us about having the material things of this world. This idiot calls himself a pastor. But a pastor doesn't say things like that. And a pastor doesn't live an opulent lifestyle on the backs of God's people. Rather than brag about his 'excessive' lifestyle, this man should fall on his face and repent before God.
"Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!"
~ James 5:1-3
Can you tell I'm angry? It's this kind of foolishness that is crippling the church today and making us the world's laughingstock. I just think it's time we call it what it is.
