There a lot of worse stories. Google Pimp in the pulpit. I am a believer and watch and read many teachers. I do see the legalism and the money made by so many. I do think if it was Jesus he would not live in a mansion or own a jet. But the gospel must be preached to all the world be fore He comes back.

some have very nice things and nice houses and much money.
My pastor has not taken a salary from the church in fifteen years. The church recently made him (he is supposed to anyway) He is currently taking a salary. Many people say that churches are all about money. They do need money for the building and etc. My pastor forgets to take offering half the time. If he was all about the money, wouldn't he act differently?

My Brother-in-law gave so much money to his church that he had to file bankruptcy and lost nearly everything he had worked for(Behind my sister's back mind you). At no time did the church intervene and say are you sure you can afford to give us all this money ($20,000 in one year!) A Church is a business plain and simple and they recruit as many members as possible to bring in more money. What they do with that money is entirely up to the board members including the pastor's salary. I wouldn't blame the guy making all the money, I would blame the simple minded congregation for not seeing through the smoke and mirrors.

There are a lot of phony people out there, I visited this church last week and the pastor said to give your money to his church before buying groceries and paying bills. That is not in the Bible.

The Salvation Army has done that for years,and they have got the assets to prove it.

If God forgives him, I do not see the right to condemn him.
I know the closer you get to God and the more damage you do to satan's lies the harder satan tries to destroy your testimony. As Joyce Meyers said " New level, New devil" and I agree 100%.

I don't believe Ted Haggard WAS doing the work of Jesus. I believe he was doing the work of Ted Haggard.

Well my friend, I believe that Jesus came to this world and died for me. I also believe that he is coming back to judge everybody.
EVERYBODY.....dead and alive.
Mr. evangelic leader is going to be in that waiting line too, and he is going to answer Jesus´questions. I can´t judge him, all I can say is that he is going to face judgment..... God knows.
