Mammon or Manipulation | Who Really Has the Money Problem? – EP109

Have you ever been told you had a “money problem” because you hesitated to give sacrificially in a service? In this episode, we turn the accusation around and ask: is it really the saints who have a problem with mammon, or is it the preachers who can’t stop talking about money? We’ll debunk the misuse of Ananias and Sapphira, the false idea that giving unlocks authority, and the manipulative claim that hesitation in giving is disobedience to God. With sermon clips and clear biblical rebuttals, we expose how Pentecostal pulpits twist Scripture to shame people into giving. Most importantly, we encourage those who have felt condemned—you are free in Christ, and your worth isn’t measured by your wallet.
And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. -2 Peter 2:3 ESV
