Exactly right! When I was in the ministry I used to refer to myself as the black sheep of the ministry. I was not there to comfort anyone I preached what I felt in my heart for better or for worse. I never fell into the trappings of preaching wealth and prosperity, or any other mundane trash. What I noticed was that if you were a preacher that told the church that they were blessed beyond all measure, that god was going to prosper them, heal them and save their entire family you were extremely popular. Underneath all of that piety there is nothing but human greed and self absorbency.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
