it doesnt say that if I happen to be wealthy, I cannot buy nice things or have a lavish wedding.
No? What does it say?

Quote:
If God blesses me with a mind to get an education which in turn allows me to get a job that supports my family well, there is no reason why I couldnt have a lavish wedding. If I can afford it.... As long as I pay my tithes and support the ministry, and am a faithful steward of the 90%, there isnt a thing wrong with it. Find me a scripture that says other wise.
Im glad you care a lot about you.

I fail to see where God's servants were given power and money to live like kings of this world and rich in this worlds goods OFF of their ministry. Perhaps you can show me that verse

God isnt as big and bad as some make him out to be - we dont have to live like downtrodden, deprived Christians.
lol, typical, Take what someone said and twist it and make a negative hyper example out of it.
