What do his critics expect? For him to cover the cost alone?

And I think that's just it.....he could easily cover the cost himself. But is that what God would want? Or would He desire that all join in and cover the shortage? I'm sure a large part of the budget has already been covered by him.
So considering Warren's wealth.....let's suppose a church has a yearly budget of 20 million. And let's suppose the pastor personally brings in 30 million. Does that mean he covers everything and no money is ever received and no one gives?
