Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy 6:5

Don't be fooled by those who think that having a big church means God is blessing them. Remember, leaven makes things grow, the more leaven you put in the more growth you will get out.

The opposite of what you say CAN also apply.

JUST BEACAUSE a church is huge, doesn't mean its bad.

Remember, the SAME GOD can bless one person and not the other.

Proverbs is full of verses explaining how to acquire wealth, or wisdom, or any number of things.

It's not the size, or wealth, or fame, OR lack thereof, that one measures godliness.

We need to be vigilant in not assuming godliness based on having XYZ OR NOT having XYZ.
