Maybe I’m out of it, but what type of pastor drives a $72,000 vehicle and wears a $40,000 watch?

Joel Olsteen?

i hear you
i hear you
anyhow, it sounds like this chap is independently rich. he’s not in the calling for the sake of the dough.

This is why we have a stand your ground law.

Thanks for the info Graybeard58 ~ I’d never had any idea what pastors are paid. Your pastor must have good sources of income other than your church and it’s wonderful that he’s turned down salary increases! To me that says he considers the financial health as well as the spiritual health of the church to be important. Good for him!

I’m sorry, I love the song “Blessed Assurance” by Fanny Crosby for its lyrics & spiritual truths. I am a born again Christian, but I can’t stand black divas like CeCe Winans (or any divas, male or female), warbling out her self-gloriying version of the song. Kind of like when they sing the National Anthem and inject all sorts of warbles & notes that were never there. Just a way to hide the fact that they really don’t have such great voices after all. Just my opinion is all.... I have no beef against you or your comments at all.

Has you pastor also been a successful recording artist for 30+ years?

[AlmaKing]

Yeah that’s it. How stupid can you be?

1. A ‘pastor’ with an expensive car and jewelry.
2. Driving an expensive car and wearing expensive jewelry in a ghetto neighborhood.
3. Showing off money among a gang of thugs.

Give it a shot and prove your point.

He isn’t just ANY pastor. He is a member of the Winans family. His parents won several Grammys. Marvin has recorded several albums himself and Siblings Bebe and CeCe have recorded several albums as well. (There are 10 kids) The whole family are friends with Whitney Houston’s family.

At one time there were even laws about faithful renditions of “The Star Spangled Banner” in places like Massachusetts. A band arranger then got in trouble because of a flatted chord. I think that kind of policy is ridiculous, and if you dislike what you hear from an artist the answer is simply do not patronize him or her. You have not proved that such things are “self glorifying” (puhleeze! we are talking about style, not about content). But for a person with your sense of judgmentalism you would be at the most peace simply to watch what you feel to be reliably “normal.” No sense putting yourself in situations where you are tempted to be vexed. Maybe that’s even FR.

I'm expressing my opinion. I love the song Blessed Assurance and Yes, a normal rendition of the National Anthem. I don't propose putting laws into place as to how the National Anthem is sung or warbled. We have enough big gubmint interference in telling us what type of light bulbs to buy.

I agree with your comment that "if you dislike what you hear from an artist the answer is simply do not patronize him or her". I already told you that I have no problem with your comments, until now. "But for a person with your sense of judgmentalism you would be at the most peace simply to watch what you feel to be reliably “normal.” No need to make that judgmental comment.
