Re: Lavish Lifestyle Ministry Spending

I think as long as a man lives within his means, whether preacher or not, he is ok. If I open a open a business, and make several million a year (let it be so Lord, let it be so ) would I be looked down upon for having nice expensive things?? Why do we look at the ministry any different? A preacher that has given his life to a church should be able to partake of the fruits of his continuous labor. Now while the bible does call us to moderation, what do we judge that by? To many in 3rd world countries, most of us are considered rich to the extreme. To some in this country, if we eat out once a week we are splurging. So to me, it comes down to letting the Holy Ghost keep each of us in line with what is moderate, and what is not.
