I don’t know how else to describe this video. Sure, it’s not the pastor’s full sermon, but you don’t need to see the full sermon to understand whom his god is. As the LORD Jesus Christ explained to HIS disciples:
Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
As for focusing on getting money instead of focusing on walking with our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ, the Holy Scriptures also speak on that. If you claim that you are a saved and sanctified Christian who knows the LORD, how is it you do not know that the clothes on your back, the roof over your head and the job you have to complain about all come into your possession because of the grace of our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY? How do you not know that you didn’t get that job on your own. You didn’t buy that car by some mighty power of your own. We seem to take life for granted — like we are the ones who actually wake ourselves up in the morning.
By the way, Jesus never worried about money — when HE needed it, the FATHER provided (Matthew 17:24-27Matthew 17:24-27
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? tribute: called in the original, didrachma, being in value fifteen pence sterling; about thirty seven cents
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. a piece...: or, a stater: it is half an ounce of silver, in value two shillings and six pence, sterling; about fifty five cents

How does a so-called Christian teach/believe that Jesus Christ is not enough? It’s not Jesus or money, or Jesus and money. It’s just about Jesus. As the LORD says:
Matthew 6:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Notice how this man takes a giant leap from “Let there be light” to “let there be money…cars…” It’s ridiculous. I pray these so-called pastors realize that they will be held of high accountability for elevating themselves over the flock and claiming the responsibility of teaching the LORD’s children.
Matthew 18:6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
Hi
All I can say is let’s keep Praying these pastors repent for they are daily shocking me. if I ever thought I have heard the worse am stunned by another the next day. . . it is so painfulI I tell you.
Godbless You in Jesus Mighty Name Amen
It is sad for many reasons — folks who behave like this are making the Christian faith a mockery to outsiders, making Christianity look like some kind of cheap gimmick. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that they do indeed repent before it’s too late.
