Matthew 19

23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that (Matt. 13:22); Mark 10:24; 1 Cor. 1:26; (1 Tim. 6 )it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say to 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.”

Takes a lot of greed and the callousness to ignore a lot of need for a pastor to accumulate that kind of cash.

I grew up in a minister's home. My father gave what he had to others even when it left him and his family with very little. Yet we always had enough and were given unimaginable gifts that were not material.

You have to make choices in life.

I think that Billy Graham made some very foolish ones. That's just my opinion.
