Of late, I have repeatedly seen blogs criticizing very wealthy clergymen, especially Nigerian preachers, presenting them as inglorious frauds whose only goal is to make themselves rich as the expense of their "naive followers."...These idle bloggers obviously don't even know what God's Word says about ministry and rewards, earthly and eternal. If they are frauds,...
But in a great house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour and some to dishonour…… (2Tim. 2:20) And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, but Christ as a son over his own house, whose house we...
