What are you doing for God?
How about you give up smoking and donate the money to the poor.
Joyce never desired to become rich but to preach the gospel against all odds and
many wrote her off, denounced her and used scripture to beat her over the head with as
they said that a woman should not be preaching and teaching.
It is so easy for us to lump people into a catagory and write them off
even though we know nothing of their heart or God's call on their lives.
I do not like many TV evagelist but I do not slam them all because many
have done God's work in reaching the whole earth with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I do not think we should denouce or judge those that God has clearly
given a place in this world to preach the gospel.
Paul said it best...
Philippians 1
15 Some, it is true, [actually] preach Christ (the Messiah) [for no better reason than] out
of envy and rivalry (party spirit), but others are doing so out of a loyal spirit and goodwill.
16 The latter [proclaim Christ] out of love, because they recognize and know that I am
[providentially] put here for the defense of the good news (the Gospel).
17 But the former preach Christ out of a party spirit, insincerely [out of no pure motive,
but thinking to annoy me], supposing they are making my bondage more bitter and my
chains more galling.
18 But what does it matter, so long as either way, whether in pretense
[for personal ends] or in all honesty [for the furtherance of the Truth],
Christ is being proclaimed?
And in that I [now] rejoice, yes, and I shall rejoice [hereafter] also.
Well, smoking doesn't cost me anything and I only do it like once a day, so yeah.
Also I never got an answer on the 8 car garage thing...
But wow Paul, so long threads here, well done
