great article. in which direction, the church, the body of
christ has gone? if anybody is getting rich through business or any legal avenue, that is great. but, it is terribly frustrating to watch the tricks being used by putting the name of god in front of us
and hoarding wealth.
believer: you have asked a serious and open question. how many people came to christ through the ministries of some of these great
leaders? until the believers honor great and genuine children of god who are in the ministry without much worldly possessions, the worldly
believers will exalt the wealthy as "blessed people".

Good article.Certainly bringing out and showing the truths existing in modern day church.Its good we are bringing out the sad state of church.However, can we follow the biblical model as followed by Jesus, Disciples, and Apostles. If we read bible carefully we can understand they took time to acknowledge the sacrificial services rendered by individual and churches.Can we bring the stories of pastors who have sacrificially served the lord without amassing personal wealth, but serving the lord and helping the growth of church.Put a criteria,1. Atleast 3 decades of service.2.What their contribution to the church in evangelism, church growth, church building etc(please avoid those who travel to states every year for church)3.Are their children serving the Lord(many preachers preach to send but not theirs).Please do not tell there is none. There are many but since they are not in politics, or involved with media publicity few know them.Will BJ have boldness to bring these stories?
