What’s Wrong With a Rich Pastor?

By Cliff, February 16, 2010

money1There are a good number of pastors that are making a lot of money in ministry. Some of these pastors have mansions, expensive cars, and private jets. They get money from their churches (salaries). They sell millions of books. They sell sermons to people all over the world.

Should we look at such possessions as blessings from God or examples of man’s greed?

What is wrong with a pastor making millions of dollars in ministry?

Don’t Neglect Your Local Church For Haiti

By Cliff, February 12, 2010

After the earthquake in Haiti we saw many benefit concerts and songs sprout up all over the place. People also started texting donations to multiple organizations. If your life is anything like mine, I’m sure many local organizations also held collections to benefit Haiti.

These are all good and helpful things. I am confident that all of our contributions are needed and valued. However, we should not neglect our main priorities to support the people of Haiti or anyone else in need. I know this may sound harsh on the surface, but I believe that this is God’s will for our lives.

The church will have a thermometer in the back of the church or in the hallway that displays how much money the church has raised towards a new building or renovations for their current building. If you pay close attention, there are many churches where that thermometer has barely moved in the last two years.

Who counts the money at your chruch?

By Cliff, April 18, 2009

moneyI’m always fascinated by what types of people hold offices at churches. Today, I want to talk about the people who count the money. Many churches refer to them as treasurers or trustees.

In all seriousness, how do you get to be one of those people? I know some churches have elections. If that is your church, I’m not talking about you. For those of you without elections, I need you to help me out with this one.
