What Would Jesus Counterfeit?

When a man was arrested in Pittsburgh for trying to pass a bogus $1 million bill at a convenience store, the police speculated the bill could be traced back to a "a Dallas-based ministry, which last year distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of the bogus bill."

In June 2006 the Secret Service seized 8,300 copies of the "million dollar bill" tract from the Great News Network's headquarters because a woman in North Carolina attempted to deposit the tracts as legal tender.

The bills were printed by Kirk Cameron's and Ray Comfort's The Way of the Master ministry and Living Waters Publications. The ministry at first refused to cooperate with the authorities and charged they were being persecuted. Apparently they're at it again. And... the bill is still available on their website.

They should have seen this coming. It's in the Bible: "The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy, 6:7-10).
