There 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.

What is wrong with a pastor making millions of dollars in ministry?
Pastor Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA recently made a trip to Haiti to experience the aftermath of the earthquake. In this video, he recounts his entire experience.

I’m not just talking about what some people may consider as “small time” pastors. Over the last couple of years a number of well know pastors have had to endure divorce.
