The media describes his ministry as “fishy” and the reports eventually provide the evidence of foul play. An investigation is ugly, long and drawn out, it reveals another professing minister of the gospel has succumbed to the temptation to dip a little too deep into the money bag.

It’s no secret that all who claim to be ministers of the gospel today aren’t serving with the right spirit that the Bible describes as expedient to Jesus’ body. Again and again, a survey of Scripture reveals His true servants will possess His heart and mind, not an unquenchable covetousness for power, fame, and fortune.

When it becomes obvious that some have fallen prey to the lusts of personal gain, our first reaction is usually to attack their motive for service, even questioning whether their faith is real or not.
