If only God had wanted to bless Paul this way, he wouldn't have been shipwrecked so many times.

“Sow your love gift of any amount” to help the ministry buy a Gulfstream G650 airplane.”

And don’t forget the fuel and maintenance costs! Not to mention hiring pilots. Maybe theres a couple in the congregation. All that’ll be A pretty penny for sure. Defiantly not a one time donation deal.

The worst thing that can happen to some ministers is to get a little success, it seems.

Mr. Mercat and I went to a small Catholic Church in SE Georgia recently. Humble place, very nice service although the lead soprano needs to find another way to serve God. It was probably also the most integrated place in town. Lots of pick up trucks and good ole boys but probably 5% black including a racially mixed couple, 8% hispanic and a few asians. We were personally welcomed. God was there in that place and he didn’t fly in on a $65mil airplane.

GOD JUST TOLD ME I NEED A NEW NAVIGATOR!! Not only that, I’m helping the environment by selling dog fart (my 85 lb. Pitador and 110 lb. Great Dane make a lot) based carbon credits that I print up on my own computer for a mere $1,000 apiece. Please buy my carbon credits so God can give me a new Navigator.

I wonder if he also owns the Bona Allen mansion in Buford ga? Only a fool would give this bullshit artist any money. Notice they want to buy the jet as opposed to lease the bird.

All the other megachurch pastors have a jet. Why can’t I have one, too?

Christianity has come a long way since the days of some guys in a boat being asked to be “fishers of men”.

What direction that long way is might be up for some debate.

Because of your lack of faith brother. Now you need to BELIEVEEEE IN THE LAAWD and he will bless. You words are powerful get down on your knees and confess to JEEEEEEEEZUSSSS that you need a jet.

If that doesn't work you may to need some mail order prayer cloths. My only other suggestion is to put Neil Diamond's Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show on the stereo and go by a lottery ticket.

There is a church that believes you should be rich and increased with goods:

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.”

Revelation 3:17-18

IMO, they are not ministers and never were. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.
