I believe preachers have every right to own the finest cars, the finest homes, the finest clothes, and all the possessions that one could be blessed with...then feel convicted about preaching against jewlery and cultural separation to those folks who can barely afford to buy 2 ply toilet paper.

I would be happy with a buggy upgrade. No chrome though. That would be bad.

Hmmm...I went to one UPC church for 13 years. It was a daughter work that we grew to over 400. Yeap! The whole time my family and I was there it was give all your tithes and all your offerings. Don't ask me how I spend them, either. None of your business!

It was preached that saints are not supposed to have any land or savings or investments! We are supposed to give all to God. (Although, God did not get it.) We can't take it with us he would say. Yet, he and his wife drive two $50,000 vehicles that they trade in every year. So the vehicles are never more than a year old. They live in a $1 million dollars home. Are always gone to every conference and we have to take up offerings to pay the visiting preachers.

Very sad and disturbing.
NOT the case with Pastor Haney.
