In that section of Acts 20, Paul gave us a great pattern. He coveted no man's money, he worked with his own hands, he cared for the weak more than his own ministry, taking the Lord's own words that it is "more blessed to give than to receive."

Witness Lee cared little for the poor and the weak. His followers became the same. Lee was consumed with furthering his ministry and his reputation. Those ends justified many rotten "means," including Daystar and merchandizing the saints.
