I also think we have reached a place where through media it's far easier for someone's "ministry" to become larger than it was ever meant to be. And the individuals ego becomes larger than it was ever meant to be

Luk 6:25 "Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. "Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
Luk 6:26 "Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
Luk 6:27 "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
Luk 6:28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.
Luk 6:29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either.
Luk 6:30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.
Luk 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Luk 6:32 "If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luk 6:33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
Luk 6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.
Luk 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Luk 6:36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Luk 6:37 "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
Luk 6:38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
Luk 6:39 He also told them a parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
Luk 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
Luk 6:41 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Luk 6:42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

If God blesses me with a mind to get an education which in turn allows me to get a job that supports my family well, there is no reason why I couldnt have a lavish wedding. If I can afford it.... As long as I pay my tithes and support the ministry, and am a faithful steward of the 90%, there isnt a thing wrong with it. Find me a scripture that says other wise.

God isnt as big and bad as some make him out to be - we dont have to live like downtrodden, deprived Christians.

Now I'm not a "money cometh" advocate either.

But if someone happens to be well off financially, so be it.

Who knows - it's sad and when they are the spotlight like this it just proves that people are people.
Wow!! I did not know they were separated...this is sad for many reasons.

It seems the mind set is, "that person does not believe like I do" so how could she/he help my people?" But what they do not understand just because someone does not "LOOK" like us does not mean they cannot help us.
There are many ways we can help our people and one is by realizing we do not have all the answers...

I didn't say one word about living like a pauper either....hmmmm. However I would point out that the servants of Christ in the bible were a lot LIKE christ and were by far NOT wealthy either

Im glad you care a lot about you.

I fail to see where God's servants were given power and money to live like kings of this world and rich in this worlds goods OFF of their ministry. Perhaps you can show me that verse

interesting answers....

how about you show me the scriptures that support your view...since your only answer to me was "read the word"

liberal?

apparently you think anyone who doesnt think like you do is liberal, I'm not what you'd consider a liberal...
