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

Prosperity gospel? That might sell well among the poor. I don’t mean it’s insincere, even though the theology is plain wrong.

A successful recording artist? If I recall correctly, Marvin was the one who preached at Whitney Houston’s funeral.

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

I think it more appropriate to ask "What father of a million-selling R&B star DOESN'T drive a $72,000 vehicle?"

The good pastor raised some very talented kids and I'm sure they bless him in many ways. Got no problem with it.

I would imagine the watch was a gift and the car - the church supplies him a car but certainly they are not thrifty but exorbitant.

One that believes in this material world. He's welcome to it. It's gonna turn to dust one day.

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

My Pastor drives a Lincoln Navigator which has a base price of $57,775, add a few extras and taxes and you’re up in the mid $60s to early $70s easily.

The thing is, he sure didn’t buy it on his church salary which has been at $26,000 for years.

As you might guess, he has other sources of income and has turned down salary increases.

He doesn’t own a $40,000 watch that I’m aware of. No parsonage or other perks either.

By the way, the church is required to pay workers comp insurance on him,(Illinois), he’s been preaching there for 43 years and so far, no on the job accidents.

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.
