Default Bible Answer Man confessed financial irregularities

Audit's Lesson Was 'Painful' for Evangelist

Quote:
Nine years ago, another group of former employees who banded together as the "Group for CRI Accountability" accused Hanegraaff of abusive leadership, misuse of donor money and other transgressions. In 2000, the widow of institute founder Walter Martin called for Hanegraaff's resignation, citing similar concerns.

Hanegraaff and other supporters said those allegations came from institute veterans who resented the way he brought professionalism and structure to a ministry that was "drowning in red ink."

During the latest tempest, at least six employees have been fired or have resigned from a staff of about 50, former workers say. Those employees said the ministry routinely used donations to pay for Hanegraaff's personal expenses and luxury items, including a board-approved 2003 Lexus sports car and smaller items.

. . . . "Perception matters," said Hanegraaff, who said he has given up his Lexus to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing.

Especially if you hold yourself up as the watchdog keeping everybody else clean.

Yeah, that's why he's preaching "faith, not works".
