Money and the Pulpit


Televangelist refuses to turn over more financial ...

The story linked above caught my eye tonight as I was reading the news. This “preacher” Creflo Dollar (please, couldn’t a man of the cloth change his last name?) is being asked by the senate to turn over financial records and get this: he’s refusing! I find this reprehensible. As a teacher I can barely make ends meet and yet it the state asked me to turn over any financial records or otherwise, I would do so immediately. What is he trying to hide? His church brought in 69 million last year and he lives a very lavish millionaire lifestyle. All we want to know is if they are abiding by the non-profit rules for an organization. My take is that this refusal shows evidence that they are not.

Greed, greed, and then more greed!  At that stage of wealthy, it isn’t enough that’s why refusing is an obvious option.   I recently read a female speaker/preacher was fined for back taxes.    Believe me, if you steal from God you will eventually be exposed and usually it starts on this side of heaven!
