LOL.

You decided to get your feet wet.

Nice article..........it is interesting to get an inside peek into the everyday life of people we at many times have debates about.  While many don't agree with his message of Prosperity.........he sure has something to say about parenting.  Also I do question his motives for adopting white children.  Its one thing to adopt children as a way of giving and sowing into the lives of children that wouldn't get a chance at a decent life, and its another thing to adopt (in this case, children of a different race) because you want to make a statemnet about racism.  That I feel has no place when you are making the decision to adopt..........do it because you want to give a child a chance at life and not because you want to make a statement about racism.

Nonetheless.........Its a blessing when people of faith act on that faith and sow into the lives of their children as well as other children, at the end of the day thats what its all about........raising up sons and daughters of God, in a household that God is the center of.

STEVO!!!!!

where you been dude....I've missed you...if I send you a list of abitrarily chosen people to ban from the forum, will you handle that for me?

lol

j/k

on the matter of mr dollar....

I"m not the sort to give a flying poop about money and the earning of it...his ministerial focus is very narrow

my wealth and riches aren't tangible and I'd like to keep it that way...even if, God see fit to one day give me material wealth...

as for his family...good for him...he presents himself as a good and loving father...something more men should do...and ultimately, that MAY be his true ministry....to show how to be a proper husband and father...we shall see...

gotta respect him for that...

the light will always dispel the darkness...seek ye the light!

I Think is emphasis is on the Wrong thing..  Sure he got rich.  But is God pleased?

I Timothy

4He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

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

 6But godliness with contentment is great gain.

 7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

 8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content

There is a difference. And He Got Rich, not Blessed..

Blessed would denote God's hand in the matter, based on that Scripture, God would have to be liar.

what, you Jesus now?  We "see" what we choose to see...based on what we preceive as "holy"....

Hi Liquid,

No I am not Jesus.  I should have responded to Devlon in more depth, I am sorry it did come across the wrong way. 

All I am saying is that each of us has a different walk and different things that God does or brings into our lives for different purposes, based on my OWN experiences with God in the arena of finances yes I can see the hand of God on Creflo's life.  Everyone has a different assignment and everyone needs more or less resources for those assignments.

For example, I have found when people who are extremely wealthy and need salvation judge things based on the outer.  Now in most circumstances not in all when ministering to them the first thing they are going to look at is what you have.  Now that as we know is very superficial but God will meet them just like he met us where they are at mentally, emotionally, etc. 

Ecclesiates 9:15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man REMEMBERED that same poor man. 16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: NEVERTHELESS the POOR man's wisdom is despised, and his WORDS are NOT HEARD. .

I remember a friend of mine invited one the attorneys she worked for to her church.  He was brought up in wealth.   He came (which was definitely the hand of God in that situation) later on he commented on how he enjoyed the service but he was very impressed by the church building and how it seemed not to lack resources.  He said he expected something totally different. 

My friend said he went up and talked to her pastor for quite a while.  Now he may have been looking at something superficial (the building) but only God knows what seed was planted and who he may send to water it so that he can give the increase.

It is like you said it is a matter of perspective.  What God has ordained for your life I may not be able to see certain things because I have not walked that way but you can tell me because you have. 

That is all I am saying. 

Proverbs 22:2 The RICH and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them ALL..

You have a blessed day.

Any minister that does not so follow, or goes against--WELL, OOPS THERE IT IS!  (Not a truly valid ministry-THAT INCLUDES TAFFY).  Something Yeshua said where your hearts lie(lays)...and ya can't follow two gods..."Seem to recall something about that in the book.  (Also, one Yeshua's boys was always talking about money...the treasurer of the apostles, the purse keeper. HIS NAME WAS JUDAS ISCARIOT!).

Hi Stbernice,

I have a question, I am just curious.  Exactly, what is it that Creflo Dollar is teaching that goes against the word of God.  I have heard people say this before and for the life of me I have heard his teachings and have not found yet where he is going against the word of God.

Could you please be more specific as far as scriptures as to what it is that he is teaching wrong. 

If you are basing it on how much God has blessed him financially, then you are talking about many in the bible who were wealthy. 

You said something to the effect that the bible states where our hearts lie.  I know which scripture you were trying to quote.   Are you saying that you know the heart of Creflo Dollar and his wife and if so could you please tell us what it is in his heart that would make you think he is preaching what goes against the bible. 

No where in the bible does it say that money is a sin.  It says the LOVE of money is evil just because some people in the body of Christ have money does not mean that they have a LOVE for it.  Usually, it is the opposite.  You can best believe when GOD blesses somone with an abundance of material wealth they have proven themselves to be good stewards of what he has given them and they are blessed to be a blessing. 

The LOVE of money can ALSO lead to a LACK of it in your life.  So we can use the same stereotype that people try to use for those who God has blessed financially and turn it around and say that those who are lacking in it are lacking because of the LOVE of money because they are not willing to give it up because it may be their security and they rely on that paycheck more than they do on GOD. 

You have a nice day.
