Hah, they don’t pay as much as educators make in the school system. Principals, etc. Why is it some people think that ministers have to live dirt poor and eat out of garbage cans?
That looks like cop pay, or fireman pay, it is less than lifeguards in Newport Beach make.
I have no problem with pastor Schuller’s salary. I make good money doing what I do; no reason why a pastor should earn any less.
However, I do have a problem with Schuller’s shallow, feel-good theology.
Sadly, that’s chicken feed in CA. No kidding, that’s how bad it is out there.
The taxpayers will buy it. It will become the Obama’s retirement home after he leaves office. Then he can genuflect to himself whenever he feels like it.
It looks like Schuller wasn’t thinking positively enough.
If it’s of God, you can’t stop it. If it’s not of God, it will amount to nothing.
If He were to come back, would he recognize his following?
Just wondering.
I say that, because they are attaching electrodes to the tortured bodies of suffering Christians in "Camp Yodok", North Korea, as we speak--on this very same, small planet--a 13 hour plane ride from Orange County, California. There could not be a greater contrast sometimes between various flows of Christianity worldwide.
My husband’s salary is in that range, and we live in a cheap Southern suburb. That isn’t extravagant pay for California - although it might be judged excessive in the circumstances by the bankruptcy court.
As the other poster observed, it’s nothing compared to what top educators like the Assistant Administrator in Charge of Being A Board Member’s Latest Babymama get for their massive services to the public. Even around here.
Any church based on one charismatic preacher rather than on the Gospel will ultimately fail.
One could argue if you don’t preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and hone in on something like “possiblity thinking” eventually when the charismatic leader is out of the picture ( Bob Schuller) it will implode on itself...just saying here...
