Jesus didn't ask anyone to give Him money... not so He could have a faster more modern donkey, or even a better house to entertain others while sharing His faith.
Although I can't totally know for sure how Jesus feels, I feel led to tell you that all too many T.V. Evangelists that I've seen on T.V. have fancy cars, fancy houses, fast planes, etc. You can't tell me that having these worldly possessions parallels what Jesus did. The Bible says: And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head. Matthew, Chapter 8, verse 20.
In my opinion, these T.V. Evangelists should live a more humble life, more in keeping with the way that Jesus lived, although I don't really mean that they shouldn't own a house or a car, but a modest one. Jesus would have used any money donated to help the less fortunate in keeping with these Bible verses.
*And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou
shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,
neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them
unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God. Leviticus, Chapter 23, verse 22.
*For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of
lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor
taketh reward. He doth execute the
judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him
food and raiment. Love ye therefore the
stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt
*If there be among you a poor man of one of thy
brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth
thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor
brother: But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend
him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. Deuteronomy, Chapter 15, verses 7-8.
*When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field,
and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it
shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD
thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou
shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the
fatherless, and for the widow. When thou
gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it
shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a
bondman in the land
of Egypt
*For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the
expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Psalm, Chapter 9, verse 18.
*Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD
will deliver him in time of trouble. The
LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth:
and Thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. Psalm, Chapter 41, verses 1-2.
*The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but
the rich hath many friends. He that
despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is
he. Proverbs, Chapter 14, verses 20-21.
*When the poor and needy seek water, and there is
none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God
of Israel
