The pastor of a North Carolina megachurch has built a $1.7-million-dollar mansion for himself and his family which he told his congregation at Sunday's sermon is a 'gift from God.' Elevation Church Pastor Steven Furtick, 33, is unapologetic about his ostentatious new seven-and-a-half bathroom, 16,000-square-foot home built on 19 acres in Weddington. He spent the first part of his sermon talking about the controversy surrounding its construction and apologizing to his parishioners for any 'uncomfortable conversations,' they may have been forced to have about it.

In the shadow of Jim and Tammie Faye.
I’ll TAKE time out or more .... but can sense the magic of the touch of God there! No games. Straight Up! and I think I may know the elites too well.
This Church has No membership ... Wonder why?
Just don’t want to play no games, no more.
both races?
There are two?
A guy who robs his congregation for a mansion is not someone who is going to be a real threat to elites.
sorry GeronL, believe you missed the point.
Unproven. Am looking but unproven.
That house costs $1,000 per member
or
Does he have another job?
yep, I should trust the lame-stream media ... after all they know everything.
Personally I’m not into mega-churches or for pastors having mansions for homes however thats up to the congregants to accept or not. Always free to go elsewhere—unlike OblahMao Scare mandates forcing us all to comply and pony up the gelt.
Am taking another six or eight weeks to observe GeronL. I’ll report back if this man is not a Patriot Pastor.
“If you can get a 16000 square foot house on 19 acres for only 1.7 million, I’d call that a miracle.”
No miracle, It’s just living 10 miles from the SC state line.
Like all the people I know who quit giving money to Pat Robertson once video of his solid gold bathroom fixtures began circulating.
alick in the “Christian” sense, like Obama is in the political sense, with both preaching their versions of a “prosperity” gospel (you can have more than you’re getting out of your little life now)
Obama misuses and abuses any sense of our founding documents and Furtig misuses and abuses Christian scripture.
