There is also the ability to discern the teaching of the word. I was listening to the message of the scripture and what it meant and applied to me.
The one thing that I do know is that the Lord rewards you for great works done in his name. Nowhere does it say that the men of God should live as paupers. I know that it is the mentality of the non spiritual World to think that all who are called to preach the word of God should have a Mother Teresa ministry but that is not so. Yes we have seen over the years Televangelist who fall the way of the World with power of money and fame. But not all of who preach the Gospel on Television fall in the all inclusive pack as everyone is inclined to think. That's were the discern part comes in.
And again as I have said. It's your life and salvation. You make the choice where you are fed.

And on the money part. It's ok for athlete's, Movie stars, Politicians, Doctors, Lawyers, Singers, CEO's etc. etc. to live in the biggest house on the block but not Pastors or Men of God?
And I know the answer will be. They are living off other peoples money. i.e. Policemen, Firemen, Stock market investors, Water Department, State Highway department, Highway patrol. Anything to do with peoples taxes. Thats other peoples money. And it's taken! not willingly given by offerings and tithes.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

A life of service to their God.  Not themselves.

Religion is overtly free from taxation....the rest of the above have to find loopholes.
