It doesn't matter to ME what the Pastor does with the money. Honestly. I gave it to God. If Pastors want to be guilty of stealing from God- he will answer for his sin. as for 300,000.00 incomes and expensive cars? If I had the money- I certainly would have a nice home and a new car, you best believe THAT!! LOL *shrugs* Just my thots...

Would you keep giving if you found out that the Pastor was taking money meant for a building fund and using it as a personal fund?
