If I’m going to buy a Lambo, I’m not going to buy a Lambo SUV.

That’s why I liked IKE...
Rev. Ike, that is. He told you exactly what he was about to do and why.

As imperfect a Christian as I am I still recall the biblical passage that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Or Genesis’ “Jesus He Knows Me”

You see the face on the TV screen
Coming at you every Sunday
See that face on the billboard
That man is me

On the cover of the magazine
There’s no question why I’m smiling
You buy a piece of paradise
You buy a piece of me

I’ll get you everything you wanted
I’ll get you everything you need
Don’t need to believe in hereafter
Just believe in me

‘Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I’m right
I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I’m right
And he’s been telling me
Everything is alright

I believe in the family
With my ever loving wife beside me
But she don’t know about my girlfriend
Or the man I met last night

Do you believe in god
‘Cause that’s what I’m selling
And if you want to get to heaven
I’ll see you right
You won’t even have to leave your house
Or get outta your chair
You don’t even have to touch that dial
‘Cause I’m everywhere

And Jesus he knows me
And he knows I’m right
I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I’m right
Well he’s been telling me
Everything’s gonna be alright

Won’t find me practicing what I’m preaching
Won’t find me making no sacrifice
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Just do as I say, don’t do as I do

I’m counting my blessings,
I’ve found true happiness
‘Cause I’m getting richer, day by day

You can find me in the phone book,
Just call my toll free number
You can do it anyway you want
Just do it right away

There’ll be no doubt in your mind
You’ll believe everything I’m saying
If you want to get closer to him
Get on your knees and start paying

‘Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I’m right
I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
Oh yes he knows me
And he knows I’m right
Well he’s been telling me
Everything’s gonna be alright, alright

‘Cause Jesus he knows me
And he knows I’m right
Oh yes he knows me and he knows I’m right
I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life
And he’s been telling me everything is alright, alright
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know
Jesus he knows me, Jesus he knows, know

How do you know how much Dirtymac has studied the Catholic Church. So you are unwilling to have your own opinion , blindly following someone else because of education, and highly bigoted. Jesus is badly needed now if for nothing more than cleaning out that cesspool called the Catholic Church

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there

Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there

Feeling unknown
And you’re all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I’ll make you a believer

I will deliver
You know I’m a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out reach out
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Post number 51, the post you responded to, is a South Carolina ping and had nothing to do with the article.

Maybe you meant to respond to someone else?

From the article:

"What should concern people who are actually genuinely concerned is 'did this man use any money from the church to do this?' And the answer is no, absolutely not," he said.

He reiterated that no money from the church was used to pay for the vehicle.

If true...and at this time i have no reason to suspect otherwise...it's his business, and none of ours.

i have no knowledge of this man, or the particulars of his income, and so i'll reserve judgement for lack of information.
