And it's not limited to the Lee church. I read a story once about a man who worked for one of those "healer" charismatic ministries, and when they actually brought in a sick person the healer wouldn't acknowledge her.

Matthew 25 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’ “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!
We tend to think of talents as gifts. But they include everything the Lord has given us, including... money. And note this servant was the one who had been given the least. Yikes!
