Christ for Fun and Prophet

  • If your pastor is wealthier than the people he serves, is he here to serve us or are we here to serve him?  As Christians I have come to believe we're a lazy lot.  We seem to buy into the tithing, the donations, and the televangelist hype.  Want an eye opener?  Check out this link: Meet the Richest Ministers in America.  Needless to say, I have a real problem with clergy that use Jesus Christ for their own personal profit.  I'd feel a lot happier knowing there was some angelic bunko squad taking these con artists down and sending them before the high court, but when do clergy cross the line from misdemeanor skimming from the faithful to gross felony misappropriation of donated funds for personal enrichment?
