I particularly hate that it was he who fell. Of course I do not want anyone to fail, but this guy took heat and faced the wrath of every half-cocked critic and armchair scholar out there. I so wanted him to succeed. <br /><br />The moral of the story is: Do NOT STAND AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO THE EDGE! Abraham pitched his tent in the desert, but lot pitched his toward Sodom and Gomorrah. In the course of time he paid a heavy price, as will Joel Osteen. Lets hope he gets away as easily as Lot did, with at least the opportunity to repent.Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-2032481544039211872016-11-03T15:33:25.816-07:002016-11-03T15:33:25.816-07:00Aw. =] Fanks. <3
People who shout about othe...Aw. =] Fanks. <3<br />People who shout about other, wealthier people, whether in money or heart or mind or spirit, are usually the ones who are greedy and jealous. They just don't see it. The aggravating part is that they won't listen at all. They like their anger and envy. They call it humility and holiness. THAT's getting things pretty messed up.Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-16589842069373388952016-11-03T15:26:41.646-07:002016-11-03T15:26:41.646-07:00I Timothy 5:17, 18:

"<br /><br />I have always wondered how people gage the earnings of pastors. I don't see anywhere in the Bible that says they can't become wealthy & prosperous. Regardless of what I've said to defend them though, it's always met with statements like "they are greedy if they have that much money" ... isn't that professing to know their hearts? As far as I know, only ONE knows the hearts of man & that's God, Himself. <br /><br />GREAT post, my friend!!! I need to go back to reading. You always manage to fire me back up & for that I am thankful :)Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293237646584507620noreply@blogger.com
