Re: The [Apostolic] Prosperity Gospel
We have never attended a chruch where the pastor was bivocational, each one made their living from the tithe. And a good living too. Our last church built a HUGE building (one of the nicest in the UPC) while we were there. We heard over and over how the pastor had given a million dollars of his own money to the building fund... No mention was ever made that the million came from money he has collected from the membership over the past 35+ years. Also he plans to 'hand down' the church to one of his sons... So basically he is securing his families future with his money as that church is quite a cash cow.
Our present church just did a big renovation on the sanctuary and the fellowship hall... we have families going without medical care and maybe even food... but that building is sure purdy now. And the pastor has a new lake house I hear...
So if your pastor is bivocational... well I still wonder at one man leading the masses without oversight... but at least he is paying his own way to do it.
