It is no surprise church members who follow a materialistic pastor are buried in debt; do not responsibly save for retirement; don’t save for their children’s education, and disregard preventive home and car maintenance. They are convinced their financial sacrifice pleases God if it allows their pastor to drive a Porsche and reside in an upscale neighborhood.
Church members have been warned about deceitful pastors. In 2 Corinthians 11:14, the Bible says, “For Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.” In 2 Timothy 3:6, the bible says these Porsche driving servants of Satan, “Worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women.” In Jude 1:12, the bible says, “These men are shepherds who only feed themselves and flatter others for their advantage.” They flatter tithes out of fixed-income widows and financially challenged church members.
God is pleased when church members are not played for fools.
