And he called them up and handed them the basket!!! He is definitely a man of great character (and he is one a lot too! lol) But we sure love him!

Tks AG... what a heartwarming testimony! Yes, those are fine folks. I know them .. your pastor's wife is from the same area I am from in Louisiana... she is younger. Have visited her home church in La.... Talley's Chapel.

Years ago, my dear dh took me to your church for an anniversary service when they gave
the elder pastor a gold Cadillac.

One of my oldest friends is in your church Johni Norman Loucks and her husband Don.

AG.. wonderful getting to know you...I am certain we know many of the same brothers and sisters..

Amen! They love the pastors here for sure!

Glad to know you also! I am sure we do! I have not gone to Bro H's church forever but the church I went to before this was only 10 min down the road and my best friend grew up in this church so I have visited it my entire life... since it was so small and now to see the diff... WOW!

I don't see a problem with ministers enjoying the blessings God has given them as long as their priorities are in the right place. After all, how else are we to think about God's blessings overtaking us?..............(also see 3John 1:2)

I agree my friend.

Well......My two cents worth.
If a minister can raise it and his supporters give it - he should be able to buy, drive, fly, live in what ever he wants and if I don't give to him - I have NO RIGHT to judge him or tell him what he should do with the money that his supporters give him.

IT IS CERTAINLY NOT GRASSLEY and the GOVERNMENTS business to tell Ministers what to do or what NOT to do with their money.

If you support Grassley - he will be telling YOU what you can drive and live in next!

KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thread makes me wanna cuss!!! This is the epitome of stupidity!!! I know a pastor who lives in a mansion, drives a nice car, and has never taken one dollar from his church because he is independently wealthy. Before you go pointing fingers at a pastor, you better find out the truth behind it all. You mess with God's anointed and the bears may come and eat you up.

Furthermore, am I the only one sick and tired of holier-than-thou Joelel???? Can't take a joke because the Bible talks about jesting?!?!?!? What is he gonna do with the scripture that says laughter is like a medicine?

FYI - 2008 Jaguar X Type Pricing
Submodel MSRP
2008 X-Type 3.0 RWD 4-Dr Sedan V6 $35,060
2008 X-Type Sport Wagon RWD 4-Dr Wagon V6 $39,330
AND, your ultra con pastor may have paid $50,000 for his pickup!!!
You ought to look up some car prices before you start smack talking.
