quote:

While the holidays are usually filled with family and warmth, John Gray's season has been filled with family... and blazing criticism. The head pastor at Redemption Church in Greenville, South Carolina has been lambasted for giving his wife a $200,000 Lamborghini as an eighth-year wedding anniversary gift earlier this month, a grand gesture that is not typical of a preacher

quote:

On Wednesday, Gray took to the stage at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, where he formerly served as an associate pastor and still preaches on Wednesdays, according to abc13. His message? Gray told churchgoers that many biblical people are misunderstood. He also shared a social media tip: "Stop broadcasting everything. I learned that lesson," he advised. Members of Lakewood Church had mixed reactions to Gray's $200,000 splurge. "I feel that it's fine for him to get his wife that," Wendy Diuno told abc13. "I know it's a lot of money, but I know it's fine for him to get his wife an amazing car, and that's okay."

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The actual explanation is of this quote is even better than the mistaken imagry it invokes.

I liked my fake preachers better when they were more dramatic.

Some people like to be entertained.

If he bought the car with his own money, which he says he did from book and other proceeds, there is no issue with it in my mind.

Now with that said, if I'm a preacher and my parishioners don't have sports cars, I wouldn't buy one myself, but that's just me.

People that go to these type churches deserve to be fleeced.
And the pastor will get his just recompense one day as well.

I don't see what the problem is about him giving his wife a Lamborghini. This is 100% on the morons who give him money and enable him

This is the dilemma every Christian faces. Commanded to give to the church but has no control over what happens to the money once given.

Life was simpler when you could just burn the cow.

Those assholes at lakewood are wolves in sheep clothing. What they propagate is an abomination and not the true gospel.
