Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar arrested

So your saying God is a communist? There is nothing wrong with having money. I've seen people in trailer parks and public housing destroy their lives for the love of money. God judges how you steward what He gives you, not how much you have. Being poor is not some sort of blessing as many here seem to think.

Having said that, I haven't ever listened to him to judge his preaching. I just get irritated reading people that believe God wants you poor and destitute because you couldn't possible use your wealth for anything good. Much of what churches do takes some money. Being Godly and poor doesn't get much done spreading the Gospel. The problem comes when God gives you money and you turn from Him because you think you no longer need Him. For a real Christian, money is just a tool to spread the Gospel. Having money isn't the end all, but using your money for treasure in Heaven. If you won't steward His money now, why would God give you more?
