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.

The problem being take up one offering and trust the saints to appropriate the funds accordingly.
Many churches have gone to this multiple offering basket passing.
Because many churches do not have Sunday evening service to pass the basket the second time on Sunday.
Take up one offeing that is all we ask....
When is the last time someone in your church who was a saint was handed a trip for 2 to Alaska?
Last time I checked it was the saints in the church funding the operation...
I understand some smaller churches have the pastors investing in the operations...
But when the church grows there could be some appreciation.....
I see some lay folks in the church getting just as dirty as the pastor.
