I'm not advocating the way he (the preacher in question) went about making that statement. But what did he do for a living?

Full time pastor. Years later he was really upset that only a few families were paying tithes faithfully. He told us that his family is not going to suffer, he will pastor somewhere else, there are plenty of churches that would love to have him as their pastor.

So, if his vocation was a preacher then why couldn't he buy what he needed with his money? Also, the other situation has variables we have no idea what was going on with that. But, everyone is in a give and take, also having obligations. If both parties are lacking somewhere, then someone has to be the bigger kid in the sandbox, and straighten those things out.
