Where in the New Testament did Jesus give away free donkeys and plows to selected lucky followers??
I think Jesus mentioned the free donkeys and plows right next to the verse that said deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me.
He didn't.
But, He did have heaven as the ultimate gift. Which seems to be the mesage this church is touting...
The "ultimate" giveaway, however, will be the free gift of heaven and Christ
Maybe a little out there. But, if the congregation has no problems donating their own time and money to GIVE the cars away that is up to them. Church doesn't accept any perfect people and it shouldn't. If it leads even 1 person to the Lord (even if the person's initial intent is greed) then it is worth it.
They're not after the followers. They're after everyone else. The followers already have their ultimate reward. They just have to be patient until the Lord calls their name.
Now, the "churches" out there sending you the "financial wealth medalions" of St Dollar Sign... yeah, thos folks are like the money changers at the temple. But, people donating time and money to attract attention to the Lord? I don't see a problem with this. And I'm usually turned off by the megachurches.
