Galatians 1:6 - 7 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."

When you're omnipotence, you use what you've got and because everything is moved at His command,

Their battle cry goes on to say, "well you have to have money to do God's work."  Well that's only true if the work that He's called you to do requires money.  See we want to do God's work on our terms and within our economy, but He's busy trying to get us to see that we as believers need to live according to His economy.  Might that require money?  At times, but many of the things that He's called us to, don't require a cent.  It only requires a willing, pure and contrite heart.

Paul said there was only one thing he wanted to know from the church, that they were talking about Jesus Christ who was crucified for us. (1 Cor 2:2).  It wasn't how big your church was or how many members you had or not even how He had granted you such wealth and status in the community.  No, the gospel that Paul preached is the gospel that we should be about today.  Jesus Christ -- Crucified!!! 

Anything else is another gospel and like Paul said, which really isn't another.
