Pastor John Gray: Today’s “Jimmy Swaggart” Award Winner

 

Pastor Gray is an associate pastor at Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. Joel Osteen is the snake-oil salesman preaching his so-called “prosperity gospel” that dupes his followers into believing they’ll be closer to God as they become richer.

 

Compliments of duping his followers, Joel During has amassed a fortune in excess $50 million and lives in a 17,000 square foot mansion worth over $10 million.

 

In an overt attempt to emulate Joel, Pastor Gray recently (ca. December 2018) announced that he spent $200,000 to buy his wife a Lamborghini Urus. When criticized for the over-the-top expenditure, Pastor Gray defended it by saying:

 

  • "You [Gray’s wife] light my fire, let this Lamborghini light your fire, baby."
  • "God helped me to make my wife's dream come true.”
  • "Why not? She's made mine come true!"

 

I don’t know about you, but I seriously doubt that there’s anything written in the Bible, both the New and Old Testament that mandated that a Pastor spend over $200,000 to buy his wife or girlfriend a Lamborghini or Ferrari.

 

In fairness, maybe Gray was of the opinion that buying his wife a Lamborghini with money he earned from Joel’s so-called ministry was somehow the equivalent in dollars of Jesus taking five small barley loaves and two small fish and performing a miracle by increasing the loaves and fish to feed a large group of hungry folks.
