This is a great example of how “prayer” has been perverted. God is not going to hand you a stack of cash to get you out of your financial troubles. He’s not going to stop the bank from foreclosing on your home. He’s not going to stop your elderly mother or father from dying. It sickens me when I hear people talk like that. It ain’t happening. If it did, Christians would all be millionaires and live forever on this earth.

God is not going to stop the sale of this monstrosity anymore than God was going to stop the foreclosure and sale of Jim Baker’s Christian amusement park (remember that?).

These people should be praying for God to help them get THROUGH hard times, not prevent hard times.

Again, I'm not a Christian and those who have followed my posts on FR know that well.

But it seems to me quite obvious that Christ's message was "Follow Me, and you will learn how meaningless worldly possessions really are".

The Schuller clan does not seem to have learned that lesson very well.
