Yes. My pastor receives a fair salary, and he seems to be a good steward of what he receives. Beyond that I do NOT care what they spend their money on. Personally, I wish we could pay him more.
I just know that when things are lumped together all in one post, they can sound a lot worse than they really are. For all we know, the mansion was a gift from the church, the pool was part of the deal, and golf might be the only luxury the pastor indulges in. We don't know if they go to Cancun all the time, or if it was just a once or twice kind of special occasion, or an anniversary trip.
I'm just saying that luxuries are NOT bad, and
our pastor and his family
deserves them.
Our pastor and his wife were missionaries to Japan at one time, so for their 15 year anniversary at the church, the church sent them and their son on a trip back to Japan, all expenses paid. I think it was a GREAT gift, and wonderful thanks for their service through the years. Some people would see that as an unnecessary luxury.
