"…my wife and I made five decisions…we set up three different foundations. One is called Equipping the Church, which we use to train pastors in third-world countries. The other is called Acts of Mercy, which we use to help those infected with AIDS. And another one is called The Global PEACE Plan, which I'll share in just a second…The fifth thing we did was become reverse tithers…We give away 90 percent and we live on 10." (Underscore added for emphasis)
Seems to me that he is giving 90% away - perhaps all 90% to his foundations ( it doesn't really say). And he is doing good works with the money. He is not buying mansions and diamonds and gold. I find no fault with what he is doing. I think that one can't go wrong in helping others. I praise the man.
But we are talking apples and oranges here.
You are talking about a man and we are talking about a pastor of Christ's church (one dubbed America's pastor, no less).
The man may be "doing good things" but the pastor is leading falsely, like a hireling in the sheepfold rather than like a good shepherd.
"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)
So Satan passes himself off as an angel and his servants pass themselves off as servants of righteousness (people doing good works). Is this a good thing and something to be lauded?
How are you going to tell the difference between the good and the bad?
