It is really sad that churches get massive buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. Have big fancy suits, clothes, jewelry, cars, mansions, etc.
Yet there are homeless people everywhere, starving children, people that will die tomorrow if they don’t get a pill that costs $2, etc.
Not that I have anything against any particular church or pastor. But in general I feel like they aren’t being good stewards with the money they are being given. Many are just taking very large salaries, and living a life of extreme luxury.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with having money, or even being somewhat wealthy. But I think it is totally wrong convincing people that “everything will be okay…just keep tithing.” That isn’t the way it works at all.
God never promises wealth if you tithe to your preacher. He never promises an easy or stress free life if you believe in Him either. You must work hard to manage your finances properly, and you will have struggles and hardships whether you follow God’s word or not.
