Pay To Pray

 

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.

This brother's comment is on point, and I'm seeing it more daily. Ministry has become so mainstream that many megachurch pastors use their position to get rich. Take Bishop Jakes for example, he started off preaching the uncompromising truth of God's Word, but once he got major, he started watering down God's word because he wanted to be secular. He changed his stance on sin, and I stopped listening to him after that. I'm not against living a blessed life, but if it comes at the expense of preaching the truth, I don't want it.

Wednesday Message: Peace In Your Home

The worst prison in the world is a home without peace. Home should be the one place you can escape the world’s 💩. I’ll go further and say that your peace should be so expensive that nobody can afford to steal it. 

Tuesday Real Talk

The blessed don't beef with the miserable. Why would they? They're blessed, they should be enjoying life isntead of worrying about miserable folks who should be leveling up instead of hating.

When a Christian gets into it with somebody, what's the first thing they say? They like to say it's the enemy working through that person. Christians give the devil too much credit.

Sunday Encouragement

I pray this encourages everyone going through tough times: All trials have an expiration date. Until situations change, we should stay at the feet of Jesus. 

All Your Friends Aren't My Friends

I stand on this. I can't vibe with anyone if I don't rock with the people in their life. I don't know how other people do it, but I'm not built to be fake. Me & another person can be cool, but if I don't like the people they vibe with, it would be difficult for us to be cool. I'm not telling my friend(s) who they can rock with, but they shouldn't expect me to get to know them or get along with them if I don't like them. It's too much fakeness going on for me to get trapped in that. I'm real enough to stand on what I say.
