Needs

I was taking a nap on Sunday and rolled over on the TV remote and turned it on. There was a televangelist on doing a fund raiser for his ministry. I was going to turn it off when I heard something that made me take notice. He said that it was important to give your seed offering to God if you wanted to reap the wealth the Lord has waiting for you. You should know I have no respect for David or Morris Cerullo. Both of them have been known for their exultation of the dollar rather than the Lord. For this they are both idiots. What makes me angrier than I can recall ever being is a statement he made during the program. David said "God only sees your seed, not your need." David wants you to send money to his ministry and says God will reward your giving to him.

This is so far from the truth that you would have to go to the edge of the known universe and it would still not be far enough. God knows and sees every need. There is nothing He is not aware of. I am grateful for this. There have been many nights of late that I am glad God is aware of my needs. He is the one thing making my life livable right now.

I guess my anger is based in my sadness that anyone who believes what this self serving nitwit has to say about the Lord. I comfort myself that God has withstood attacks from ding dongs for all of recorded history. The ding dongs come and go, but God is forever.

Now I am praying that the Cerullo family comes to know the true and mighty God and not the self fashioned image they are trying to make of Him. Boy are they in for a surprise.

Thankful for a God who more than meets my needs,

Hopefully, these men will come to see the Truth. They probably base this false teaching on tithing, and just twisted it. But they give cause for some unbelievers to justify not going to church or getting involved with "religion".
