One offerring is enough.
Two offerrings is tolerable.
Three offerrings is stupidity,
and 4 offerrrings is intolerable.

Would it make a difference if he was in Hawaii, or Florida? Why does it matter where he goes on vacation? I'm not getting what the issue is there.
Or is it a problem
because the church paid for the pastor's vacation to the Caribbean? I don't see that as being a problem. Pastoring is as 24-7 job, so if the church wants to bless the Pastor and his wife for their contribution of time and labor to the church, I don't see what the issue is.
Besides, we dont know when was the last time he even
took a vacation. Some pastors go looong periods of time without taking some time off, or getting away on vacation, so if the church wants to send them on a trip, I dont think thats's necessarily a big deal.
We dont know the whole story on this, so I dont think we should allow ourselves to jump to improper conclusions.
