Re: Wisdom vs. Fervor

To compare the monet grubbing leaders of most churches of today to the holy men and women of the Bible is almost sacreligious. Christ never went around in $3000 suits, stayed only in the best hotels, or ate only in 5 star restuarants. He never asked for money in order to give blessings to anyone, he never judged anyone, yet that's all I hear from most ministers, preachers, and those of the "faith" that belong to organized churches. I think myself a deeply religious person, but I am not a church goer. I do not need someone lording over me to tell me what God and His son intended for my life.

As Christ said Himself, "Wherever two or more of you are gather in my name, there I shall be." He said nothing of listening only to those who profess to "speak" for Him.
