t was Jesus who told the rich young man that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to Heaven.
So I guess the wife of a mega pastor from down south was poor, even though her husband makes millions from the pulpit.
John Gray is a pastor at the Relentless megachurch in South Carolina and is an associate pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston, the home of another crooked grifter, Joel Osteen. Last week, he raised eyebrows when it was announced that he bought his wife Aventer a Lamborghini Urus, an SUV whose base price happens to be $200,000 for their eighth wedding anniversary. According to Gray, "it wasn't a pastor that bought the car, it was a husband that bought the car."
After the controversy unfolded, Gray took to Facebook Live and told his flock that he got the $200,000 from his TV show, which airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network, books and various investments. He claims that not one cent of church money was spent on the Lambo.
You know, I'm no fan of megachurches. All they do is preach a gospel that's all about wealth and prosperity: two things Jesus preached against. Right now, there's many churches that are struggling, including one that was the father of a family friend of mine's. This church is in a ghetto of Philadelphia and it's beyond hurting. Attendance is low and the people who attend don't give much because they don't have money. Apparently, the city is trying to shut the church down because their building is an eyesore. Inside, it's not even safe. The walls are crumbling, there's broken-down pews and the building has no heat. Now, they need at least $50,000 to keep the church going and they simply don't have the money.
When I hear about preachers and their mansions, their jet planes and expensive cars, to me, it simply causes people to abandon religion altogether. As a matter of fact, millennials are abandoning Christianity left and right. Sadly, the gospel of helping others and other things Jesus wanted is now getting lost in the message of helping some grifter buy his wife a Lambo.
Here's a better idea for $200,000: FEED THE HUNGRY.
