The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. God doesn't mind if we have money, but doesn't want money to have us. We don't serve money, we serve God. There's a saying, don't love money and use people, love people and use money. I will take every dollar He wants to give me and use it to promote His Kingdom gladly. There are far too many Scriptures that show God desires good things for His children, but that we don't make them an idol. We don't point to the bling, but the One who blesses us with it. That being said, wealth also attracts people to know more about God. Solomon and the Queen of Sheba is a good example of this. There are many more of course.
And I get so tired of people who gossip and slander TV evangelists. Many of them use a good portion of that money to promote the gospel in other countries, while we sit back and watch them on our TVs. It's far too easy to criticize. And if you're not being criticized you should consider making more waves.
Being poor doesn't make you holy. Either does being rich. Jesus did. Now let's receive everything God has for us that we might be able to release everywhere He's calling us to.
