This is an older story, and one that I wish I'd been aware of in time to include it in Schadenfreude, Baby!
The headline alone should explain it all:
Financial Woes Force Church to Sell Private Jet.
The church preached the "Prosperity Gospel." Prosperity churches are based on the idea that success in business or personal life is evidence of God's love.
No word on whether they were planning on using the private jet to get a camel through the eye of a needle.
