Sure seems to be a lot of class envy on the FR these days.

If they guy pulling up in the most expensive car in the church parking lot is the pastor, you're in the wrong church.

If the largest, most expensive home in the congregation belongs to the pastor, you're in the wrong church.

If you're pastor owns outright a $20 million dollar airplane, you're in the wrong church.

If your pastor collects Ferraris, you're in the wrong church.

If your pastor and his wife spend more than you earn in a year on cosmetic dentistry, botox, and plastic surgery, you're in the wrong church.

Yep, Snickering Hound, discernible, sickening, finger-pointing, stupid, class envy.

Don't you?

Speaking of in the wrong church, to what church do you belong?

However. to be fair, you should be aware that Joel does not take any money from the church. All of his money comes from his book sales - he does not accept one penny from the church. I am not an Osteen fan at all for all kinds of reasons, but I do think you need to be fair as to where his wealth comes from - not from the church, but from the book sales...I assume he tithes.
