Controversial evangelist Juanita Bynum has been in the news for charging thousands at her prayer seminars. Since when did prayer cost? I want to know because the way I was taught, prayer is free. I don't need to pay thousands of dollars to learn how to get God's attention. I can share what's on my mind with him for free. When I think of Juanita Bynum's prayer seminars, I think she has special prayers that are guaranteed to get favorable answers from God. The crazy thing is that people are buying into this craziness. I'll never pay for something I can do for free. I want to showcase a couple comments from FB friends that coincides with this topic:
She's not lying. Religion is a money making business because it seems like that's where many millionaires are made. This goes back to a previous statement I made about the motives of some for ministry. Are some pastors and Christian leaders getting into ministry to create change, or get rich? I'm asking for everyone. Maybe I need to consider getting into ministry if that's the road to fame & fortune. Prosperity preaching is popular, which explains why many megachurches and churches are filled weekly, because that's what people want to hear. Very few want to hear uncompromising truth.
