Ohio church pastor, Gary Fearns,
explains, “I think pastors should be
paid a living wage based on the average
salary of their congregation, if they earn
more than that, I think the rest of their
money should be used to help other
people,”
ARE THERE STILL MEN
OF GOD WHO ARE
W I L L I N G TO P R OV I D E
SPIRITUAL UPLIFTMENT
WITHOUT LINING THEIR
POCKETS?
therichest.com's list of the highest paid
pastors in the world, include Cindy
Trimm, Al Sharpton, TB Joshua, Chris
Oyakhilome etc. What should be noted
here is how their financial prosperity
is from more than just preaching the
‘word’.
It appears that being a pastor has become
more of a career than a calling. And we
have to wonder, are there still honest
men of God who are willing to provide
spiritual upliftment without lining their
pockets?
