But seriously, this was a classic demonstration of deceit in the modern day Christian church. It is the usual story…charismatic leader draws members in with the promise of prosperity as long as they bring their tithes into the church. Well after years of living a lie, it becomes very difficult to face the truth even if it is so blatantly obvious. How do you think Jim Jones got men and women to kill their own children? So please pray for these people. They are truly lost.

Now I have been to LWCC several times (on my wife's insistence) and I will say it once again. He is a businessman masquerading as a pastor. Your money (including the amounts drawn on your credit cards) will fulfill his failed attempts at business. Worse than that he breaks practically every principle Jesus Christ has taught us. So you will lose financially and spiritually.

So please wipe the smudge of your glasses and find a good bible based church. Jesus Christ warned us of people like Mac Hammond so I could care less of the results of an IRS inquiry.

I love Mac's chruch.  He does Breezy Point ceremonies…You know the type, the one where you go to a wedding and he spends 45 minutes trying to sell you his ministry and for that, you get a five minute wedding ceremony.  Make no mistake….it is ALL ABOUT MAC.  After all, he talks to God…..along with athletes who win the championship and conservative Republicans who win elections.  God speaks to no one else…….

BTW:  Mac's “endorsement” and Bachman's winning of the election was a blessing in disguise, more proof that “God” isn't Republican…..What more can you ask for than a moron who can't keep her hands off him (see the State of the Union) and is incapable of actually “working” with the President (she's so in awe of Bush she probaby needs to change her panties every time she sees of a picture of him…..Guess “God” couldn't cure her of lusting after another man besides her husband….).  All in all, Bachman will be the billboard Republican in 2008 as to why the country should vote Democrat.  It isn't a question as to who “God” wants to win……it is a question as to who is at least remotely capable of actually doing the work of the people…….Clearly, Mac has NO IDEA as to what that is…..I'm sure he can fly somewhere though in one of his TWO planes to figure it out……

I'm done……….GOD wants me to go see “The DeParted”…….God tells me he loves Jack Nicholson……Especially that movie where Jack quoted him and said “YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH”……….and yes, God loves me even though I wouldn't give Mac Hammond a dime (bag)……

BTW:  You

Amen to you brother!!  Mac Hammond has perverted Christianity for monetary gain.  It is sad to see a congregation so asleep and blind that they allow themselves to be ministered to by such a hypocrite. Just today, after an expose in the Minneapolis Star Tribune he spent the hour on TV, squirming under the scrutiny.  Trying to justify a life lived for money and excess while hiding behind bible verses. Sick, sick, sick. His authority does not come from God, but from the money generated by those who

allow themselves to be deceived.  Jesus did not need expensive cars, motorcycles, planes, multiple homes, and expensive clothes to preach his message.  Mac Hammond is a worldly, materialistic, phoney whom Jesus would not approve of.  I dare say Jesus would have opposed such philosophy.

Acts 20:29  “I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among YOU and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30 and from among YOU yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.

  Living Word Christian Center has a long history of making every effort to conduct the financial affairs of the church with integrity and candor. It is standard procedure for all appropriate contracts and financial transactions to be reviewed by our law firm (Faegre and Benson), audited by an independent accounting firm (Ernestvedt and Christensen), and approved by our board.

  Every effort is made, and will continue to be made, to completely comply with and diligently follow all applicable legal standards established by the IRS and the State of Minnesota for the conduct of non-profit organizations.

  Living Word and those outside professionals involved in the conduct of our financial affairs remain confident any fair review of our dealings will reveal the validity of our effort to consistently be an accountable and honest ministry before God, our congregation, and our community.
