A greed based theology has its rewards - television preaching is exceptionally profitable.

"Money no doubt matters because it is the most frequently sited topics in the Bible. Yet the main major topic of all is that you must be born again. Call on Jesus today and let Him cleanse you from all sin and unrighteousness. he is ready and waiting today.

And all you need is to give a little love - you don't need to ask for a fistful of dollars too. Jesus said follow him (do as he did) not worship him.

Pmark,
I’d agree that $20 is a lot for a book. But I don’t know why you protest. Weren’t you the one who said that the medium of the message doesn’t come free? How much were you happy to pay for your Bible dictionary, or your study Bible?

You said a few times that God doesn’t want his people to be poor. In that line, I can’t see why you keep reminding us of the state of your car or other financial challenges.

You say you don’t serve God because of what he gives you, but you accuse Job of serving God because of what he gave him. Are you more righteous than Job? Satan accused Job of serving God only for what he could get out of it. However, it was a false accusation. Job’s motivation was pure.

Similarly, this article was accusing certain Christians with being in it for the money, or worse, theft. God has infinite riches and he blesses generously. But I hope the Gospel we preach is never complicated in desires for the riches of this world on the part of the messenger or the message.
