Ministries that capitalize on biblical mandates to give, do so upon dangerous grounds.
WE are to flee all appearance evil, Eph 5:3 But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.
You wont hear this verse quoted and obeyed. The reality we live in, is that ministries have become large religious machines that need feeding, millions of dollars, that is, to feed them. The hungry mouths, the board, president, the staff, the media, the perks, the transportation etc etc. All this is to obtain a goal set by the evangelist, and I used the term verrrrry loooooosly. The goal of course is to ever expand the ministry. Salvations, healings, giving, missions are a long way from being a close third or fourth on the list. When you feed the religious machines you propogate the greed of these men and their family, you continue to bury them. Day by day, hell awaits these men. They will be overwhelmed when they hear "depart from me" I dont care how well they have distanced themselves from their financial profit making businesses, they are all tied together to serve one purpose and that is the copeland philosophy which is expand, grow, heap up, tear downt he little barns and build bigger ones. So we throw the poor folks a few bones, so we feed some people and send some clothes, thats in the budget, but is not in the main thrust of ministry existence. Keep on feeding them and you will only create the largest religious pit of greed to this day
