Luke 6:38 Give and it shall be given to you....running over that's why a lot of preachers are rich. Their whole life is giving.

The church that I used to go to bought cars for the pastor, gave him cash, etc.. WITHOUT HIM ASKING. The house he lives in is huge and was sold to him by a millionaire for "almost nothing."
The guy was a christian and said that he was lead by the Lord to give him the house for almost free.(the man didn't know he was a pastor, he was just being obedient to God). I think stuff like that happens to God's people.
Of course we might say, "aw he made that, nobody gave him that mansion." But why is it that we claim to serve a super natural God but when supernatural stuff happens, we say, "aw he's lying, that didn't happen." Is God still in the business of unexplainable blessings even today like He was back bible days, of course!
This particular pastor preached one time about how everybody thinks the church is rich, but they're NOT, God just shows them favor all the time.
Keep on living and you'll find out that if God wants you to have something He can give it to you creatively whether you have money or not.
My old pastor doesn't beg the church for anything but things are freely given to him. Some pastors get rich off of investing, books, seminars etc.. Lets not say that they should do these things for free because the bible teaches that a man should be paid for his wages.
If these pastors are taking money from the church that they shouldn't be taking(stealing), don't you believe that our God will handle that. God deoesn't need our help. If they're outside the Will of God, pray for them. If they're not, repent for wrongly accusing them. I think they'll continue blessing people and getting blessed as they've been doing, I know I'm getting mine!
Most of todays churches have independent auditors come in and check the books.
Quick Question: If only a percentage of pastors get their 'stuff' honestly and the others steal church money,(and the all have Mercedes) explain to me how the honest one get mansions and cars?
