My problem is this sister... I believe that not only will HE give an account to God but so will WE. If we give our money and know, or should have known, that it was not being used to further the Kingdom there is no getting away from our own guilt.
When we can plainly see that the ministers in our churches are living rich, supporting adult children who will not work under the guise of giving them paid positions that someone else would do without pay, building huge edifices, taking lavish vacations, buying vacation properties, wearing designer suits... the list goes on and on... And we are not innocent when we enjoy that huge building and all the programs and send our kids on the youth trip that is really just an extra vacation.... And all the while people in our own communities may not have enough to eat, are not hearing the word of God except when they cruise by a televanglist while changing the channel... While foregin missions have needs...
God will see the whole with every excuse, including 'I gave, someone else was responsible for how my money was used' stripped away.
