For the most part, I don...I agree with you, Tim. For the most part, I don't think it's any of my business how much money any pastor makes or how he spends his money - exception being my church's pastor, to a certain extent. :-) I also know pastors and people in full time ministry that have been criticized for having fancy cars, expensive clothes, fine homes, and exotic vacations. What the complainers didn't realize was that the car was a gift from a parishioner, or that the home or clothes or vacations were often made possible because the pastor had made wise investments or were at least partially gifts or inheritances. Or that the spouse had a career that paid for the luxuries. I believe churches should support their own pastors and staff people as generously as possible, and I believe that it is up to each church what that means. And it will be different for a small inner-city ministry than for a suburban megachurch. It's my business only when it's the church that I attend and support.<br /><br />When I compare what others have to what I have, it's easy to become envious and covetous. When I'm envious and covetous, it's tempting to point the finger at the people that I think have more than I do and criticize them. But it's me that's in the wrong when I do those things!<br /><br />Good post!!Kym https://www.blogger.com/profile/11491633578560803666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607801311278735053.post-87505252952947574232014-01-06T10:55:27.520-06:002014-01-06T10:55:27.520-06:00I like Joel Osteen. I didn't look at it like H...I like Joel Osteen. I didn't look at it like HE is one of these types of Pastors, but I looked more at the message, because there are Pastors who do fall under this caption. Good post...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
