According to FOX 26 in Houston, "Federal records show he and his wife first Lady Bridget Hilliard owns their own jet...an aviation expert tells FOX 26 news this Hawker is valued at $2 million. It's housed here at Hooks airport in Spring. The hangar we're told owned by New Light and has a value of about $3 million. This is also where Bishop Hilliard keeps the church's Bell Jet Ranger helicopter with a value of about $1 million.
I wonder, what Jesus would think. Would it go something like this?
What this guy's doing reminds me of a story I once heard.
A church parish once collected a large sum of money in an offering plate. The pastor then tossed the offering plate high into the air towards the heavens.
The pastor remarked, "What has fallen from above, God doesn't want. What now lays on the floor is therefore ours to keep".
I don't want to get all preachy, but in this Earthy flesh money is the God that comes before all others. Stop and think about what I said and all it implies. Every effort throughout our life is in the pursuit of money. Whether it be sports, writing, entertaining, charity work, medical care, the arts, the words we (copy)write and yes even when it comes to worship it's about money. Everything... and I do mean everything right down to the very cost of being born to burying our bodies. Some are more obvious then others, but every motivation boils down to the pursuit of money.
There's nothing wrong with living comfortably, but one must remind themselves whether a billionaire or a bum, a famous person or insignificant oaf.. death is the great equalizer. No amount of money can ever change that. One should live their life accordingly.
