Technically a “yacht” has nothing to so with the size of the vessel although many associate it with size and wealth.

What it refers to is it meets certain criteria specified by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). Smaller boats have a data placard stating the maximum number of people OR weight limit allowed on board. (IE: 6 people or 1,000 lbs). A yacht does not have these limits and it is up to the captain to decide the number of people that they will allow on board.

Great article. I like how you presented both extremes, fill in the pool or have a few jets.

The problem is deeper than just having money, most of these guys twist the gospel around to enrich themselves.

In reply to Brett L. Agree, Hybels wasn't really one of the name it and claim it guys. But he lead churches towards the attractional / seeker movements, and lead numerous churches away from the gospel. Apparently there was also an issue with money / fame / power.

In reply to Michael Frost. The quality of the yacht was excellent. Brand new and the nicest in the harbor. Beautiful!! It was a 50 plus foot Tiara named Blessing. He kept it in South Haven Michigan at the Muninipal Marina (north side) in slip 17. It had twin Caterpillar engines for propulsion.

In reply to Miguel. Write books make money all good. That ability is a blessing. How you Steward that blessing is what makes the difference. Bill has brought a lot of people to the Lord. But the stench of his arrogance it's been around that church for a long time. I am a Christian but frankly I don't care for Christians. Frankly the basis of Christianity I thought was forgiveness. But other people play it differently. May God have mercy on all of us.

Private jets are a luxury at any size, but the best ones can be especially fabulous. Here’s a look at the most expensive private jet in the world.

In reply to Al. You are foolish for speaking out and not knowing what you are talking about. Perhaps you can be slow to talk until you Kno ALL of the facts.
