Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
atthew 19:21-26 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
In the case of all these evangelical preachers they tend to concentrate their efforts on the taketh away bit.
That and having affairs with prostitutes and worshippers.
What they are doing is not much different from the Nigerian 419 scams.
IMO
Please. Surely you know that people have sex with prostitutesIn the case of all these evangelical preachers they tend to concentrate their efforts on the taketh away bit.

Nothing wrong with using the services of people who sell sex, but when you are portraying the image of a God faring devoted family man in order to sell religion to the faithful so you can pocket millions, it does smell of hypocrisy don't you think.
His son Donnie is no better, caught having an extra marital affair at the same time again portraying the image of being a devoted father and family man, whilst preaching the bible to youngsters.
It is nothing better than religious extortion.
