Today I read a lot of comments on a video about one chistian church. A big church. An influentian church. An active church. A rich church... Some people are very sensitve to the words "rich", "money", "offerings" and the like... Is it forbidden for a man of God to prosper? I will have to make some study on that... As for now, I remember Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, David - they were all so influential for jewish nation, and rich... People like to say that Christians should lead a decent life without big riches, and at some point these people are right... But is that the rule? Christ told not to tie your heart to the things of the world, because then you become a slave of the riches... It is very slipery to have more financial opportunities, to be rich, I have to admit that, but do we need to create religion with that? By the way, apostale Paul had appartment in Rome... Have no idea what size, but not every jew had an appartment in Rome... Is that bad to have some property? I would say that more important is to set your heart and eyes onto God, and seek His will to be done; simply to know who your master is, and to whom you owe your riches and prosperity... As I said, I will have to explore that deeper...
